Country switch setting before installation
Before You switch on Your new CB radio, You
should preset the country switch on the front panel
of the radio according to the local authority
requirements. If You are not sure and if You should
not have any individual CB licence issued by the
telecommunications authority of the country where
You live, You should use the factory default setting
of the switch: This is the left position on the picture,
40 FM. Please consult our Radio Passport (see the
chapter “Legal Information” later in this manual)
40 FM This is former “CEPT” mode, the (upper) position which is allowed in most
countries. Here the radio works on the international 40 Channels in FM
mode. The Function switch F on the front side is disabled in this mode.
(Caution: In Italy You need a licence, even for this mode!)
80/40 This position (medium switch position) is only allowed to be used in
Germany, no individual licence is necessary. Restrictions are still in force
in the border regions to other countries (except to Czechia), where
transmitting on channels 41 – 80 is not allowed or only with a special
licence.
40/40 This lowest switch position can be used in those countries, where already
all 40 international channels are allowed to be used in AM and FM. AM
was traditionally used by CB from the beginning in the early 60’s in USA,
and it is still the preferred mode of all truck drivers in the world. Please
use this mode only in countries according to the list in the Radio Passport,
and please apply for an individual licence where requested.
Re- Programming to another country code
This is possible at any time, even after installation and when the radio is in use:
• Just switch to the desired new position
Note: Please follow the national regulation. Never use a switch position which is not
allowed in Your country.
