User's Guide

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-
approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum
gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Citizens Band License
The use of the Citizens Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the Australian Communications
and Media Authority (ACMA) Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and
in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED) General User Radio
Licence (GURL) for Citizens Band Radio, and operation is subject to the conditions contained in those
licences.
In Australia, a Citizens Band transmitter shall not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and
35 and no voice transmissions are permitted on data (telemetry/telecommand) channels 22 and 23,
except in an emergency. The radio that complies to this Standard will inhibit voice operation on
channels 22 and 23. In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by the
ACMA, these channels shall be added to those currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited.
Always listen on a channel (or observe a channel-busy indicator) to ensure it is not already being used
before transmitting.
Citizens Band Repeater Operation
A repeater is a station established at a fixed location that receives radio signals from one Citizens
Band station and automatically retransmits the signal to another station using the corresponding output
channel. UHF Citizens Band repeaters can be found in all states and enable the range of vehicle
to vehicle communications to be significantly increased. Avoid operating on locally used repeater
input channels (which are in the range of channels 31 to 38, and channels 71 to 78 when they are
authorized) or locally used repeater receiving channels (which will be in the range channels 1 to 8,
and channels 41 to 48 when they are authorized), unless long-distance communication via the repeater
facility is specifically required.
NOTE: In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication
and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.
25 kHz Land Mobile Band to 12.5 kHz Narrow Band Transition
The existing use of 25 kHz analogue land mobile channels is to cease by 1 November 2015. This
period is in accordance with the minimum period (five years) specified in the Radio Regulations for
giving notice of revocation of a licence of an undefined duration.
Land mobile frequency bands with an offset channel plan (E, EN, and ENX bands) require a different
treatment to manage the introduction of digital land mobile radio (due to potential adjacent channel
interference risks). The following items apply to these bands:
• Users of E band (25 kHz channels) wanting to transition to digital prior 1 November 2015, can
migrate to the EE band (also in the VHF range) or any other band open for digital land mobile radio
licensing.
• E band users wanting to continue operating analogue services after the five year transition period
can migrate to 12.5 kHz analogue channels in the EN band (also in the VHF range) or any other
band open for narrow band analogue land mobile radio.
