Legal and General Information The legal regulations in some countries demand a printout of our CE Declaration of Conformity in its original wording (editorial status: March 2010). The latest regulations, announcements and other documentation for this device are published in the service download area at www.hobbyradio.de or www.alan-albrecht.info.
Declaration of Conformity CE- Declaration of Conformity / Konformitätserklärung We hereby declare that our product: / Wir erklären hiermit, dass unser Produkt Amateur Radio Albrecht AE 485 S satisfies all technical regulations applicable to the product within the scope of EU Council Directives, European Standards and national frequency applications:/ alle technischen Anforderungen im Geltungsbereich der EU Richtlinien, europäischer Normen und nationaler Frequenzanwendungen einhält: 73/23/EEC, 2004/108/ E
Preparation for Use General Use Instructions This AM-FM-SSB transceiver AE 485 S is a universal 10 m radio for 12VDC power supply. It an be connected to powerful 12V batteries, such as rechargeable lead batteries, but also via a suitable 12V power adapter with at least 6A stabilized constant current to 230V mains power supply. Due to its SSB operation, demanding repeated finetuning and delicate operation, the radio is not intended for the use in vehicles when driving.
Have your vehicle manufacturer verify that he has no objections against the Amateur radio operation in connection with the vehicle electronics! Even though the effects of “electric smog” are controversial, you may not want to expose other persons, who may think your hobby dangerous, to electromagnetic fields. In case you wear a pacemaker, please observe the greatest possible distance to the antenna. If in doubt, obtain the manufacturer’s information with regard to recommended safety distance.
RF Gain (4) Use the RF Gain knob (lower, outer dial of the dual control knob) to set the amplification in the RF receiver. Turn fully clockwise for the unit to have the highest amplification and sensitivity. This setting is optimal for most receiving ratios. Turn the RF gain control knob back to mask unwanted long distance or interference signals, especially when deliberately listening to near stations.
• • You can tune the frequency via the CHANNEL knob (9) on the unit or with the UP/Down buttons on the microphone. Press FUNC followed by 2 to toggle between the display modes. Frequency Steps (channel knob) Per default the frequency steps are 10 kHz. You can change the step width by key STEP (5) to 1, 10 or 100 kHz steps. After 1 x pressing STEP you will see the cursor appearing below the corresponding digit of the frequency readout, depending how often you press the button.
for speaking only the frequencies upward of 28.500 to approximately 28.503 MHz, while in LSB mode the frequencies below 28.500 MHz to approximately 28.497 MHz are used. Both sidebands are mirror-inverted and this is why receiver and transmitter must be set to the same sideband. Otherwise you only receive some incomprehensible gibberish. Set Transmission Power Your unit comes with continuously variable transmission power. In normal state the control knob PWR (14) should be set fully clockwise.
Last Channel Recall (LCR) If you were scanning or listening a lot to other frequencies you may want to return to your last transmission channel by pressing a single button? Press the LCR (6) button to return to the last channel you used for transmission for more than 3 seconds. Noise Blanker A noise blanker is a circuit to fade out or limit temporarily pulsating interferences.
