EMERGENCY CHANNELS
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for
emergency use only. Channel 5 is the primary
Simplex Emergency Channel. Where a Channel 5
repeater is available, you should select Duplex on
CH 5.
NOTE: Channel 35 is the input channel for
the Channel 5 repeater therefore Channel 35
should also not be used for anything other than
emergency transmissions.
TELEMETRY CHANNELS
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22
and 23 for telemetry only applications and have
prohibited the transmission of speech on these
channels. Consequently your radio has a transmit
inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23.
In the event additional telemetry/telecommand
channels are approved by the ACMA, these
channels shall be added to those currently listed
where voice transmission is inhibited. Currently
transmissions on channels 61, 62 and 63 are also
inhibited and these channels are reserved for future
allocation.
SAFETY MOUNTING GUIDELINES FOR PLUG ‘N’ PLAY
The TX3120S Plug ‘n’ Play (TX3120SPNP) is
supplied with a suction mount bracket - Part No:
MB043, designed to hold the TX3120S UHF CB
radio so that it can be remotely mounted onto the
windscreen within the vehicle or alternatively on a
fl at surface where the suction base can take hold.
In order to ensure driver safety when using the
TX3120S Plug ‘n’ Play, GME provides the following
recommendations and guidelines;
• The product should not be mounted in a way
that blocks the driver’s fi eld of vision of the
road.
• When mounting on the driver’s side of the front
windscreen, it is recommended the suction be
placed as close as possible to the corner of
the windscreen to minimise interruption to the
driver’s fi eld of vision.
• If fi tted elsewhere on the windscreen it should
be low down to ensure the driver’s fi eld of
vision is not blocked.
• If it is not possible or practical due to the design
of the dash or the driver’s seating position, the
unit may be placed low down in the centre of
the windscreen.
• The unit must not be located in a position
that could potentially cause injury during a
crash – such as a head strike to the unit. Airbag
deployment should also be considered when
mounting the unit.
• Mounting the unit high up on any part of the
windscreen is not recommended as it may cause
an interruption to the driver’s fi eld of vision or
