Installation of the Radio You can either operate your ALBRECHT AE 6199 in the car or at home as a base station. For installation as a mobile station in the car, a mounting bracket is enclosed. Mount the set in such a way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight if possible, as this would lead to an increase in the temperature and can decrease the (set’s) working life. The set should also not be installed near a heater. Mount the set in such a way that it is exposed to as little vibration as possible.
Attach the red wire to a part of the vehicle electrical system which is interconnected to the ignition. Connect the black wire to the negative pole on the battery or the vehicle body. Note for all connecting methods: For EMC reasons, the cable used to connect to the power supply should be no longer than 3 metres. If you wish to operate your set at home from the mains supply then please only use a stabilised power supply with at least 3 amps permanent current capacity.
Operation Switching on and adjusting volume and squelch The on/off switch is combined in the VR control. To switch on: • Turn VR control from OFF position slightly right. LCD will be illuminated. • Turn SQ control to the leftmost position. Then carefully turn right until the ASQ icon on the LCD disappears. Now the background noise should be audible. • Then adjust the volume to the desired level.
Po 40 channels AM and FM 4W In Poland, it is allowed to use the European system E and the former established Poland channel system Po as well. The Poland channels are all 5 kHz shifted below the international channels. Please note that it is not allowed to use the Po setting in other countries. UK 40 channels + 40 UK channels FM only 4W If this mode is active, the A/F button has an alternate function and toggles between the two channel lists.
Now the loudspeaker stays off when on a free channel but it switches back on when receiving even very weak signals. The muting adjustment is particularly important during channel scanning. In this mode the point to which the set is adjusted decides whether scanning is stopped at the signal or not. Therefore you should test the various muting settings for various signal strengths and get to know this function. Automatic squelch ASQ Turning the SQ control knob to the leftmost position enables the ASQ.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are listening in. Therefore listen into this channel as often as possible! Channel 16 Channel 19 Channel 40 Water sport channel Trucker channel on AM in France, Spain and Italy Calling channel in Switzerland Some recommendations have been worked out by the CB clubs for the German channels 41 to 80.
transmitter and the receiver(s) on the distant side need a certain time to switch on. The modulation amplifier of your AE 6199 is sensitive enough and enables you in most cases to speak with even more distance, depending on how loud your voice is. An automatic regulator ensures that your partner always hears your signal at the same volume. It is recommended to test the best distance from the microphone for yourself with the help of another station.
In case this does not solve the problem, please ask your dealer or consult our service hints in the Internet. If you should return the radio for repair, do not forget to describe the problem as exactly as possible.
