full fills the harmonized EU standards EN 301 783-2 (commercial available amateur radio products , EN 301 489-1

und-15 (EMC) und EN 60950-1:2006 (safety and LVD -directive 73/23/EWG) nad is marked with the CE logo.

Following conditions apply:

In all European countries this transceiver is subject to national amateur radio regulations. It may be used

only by persons, who have obtained a valid amateur radio licence.

Radio amateurs are only allowed to use this radio on assigned amateur radio frequencies within the 10 m

band, even if this radio should be able to switch other adjacent frequencies. National regulations may

exist for environmental RF protection and must be applied by the operator.

It is not allowed to use this radio for any other purpose except amateur radio.

If this radio shall be used in a configuration with other accessory items or amplifiers, the radio amateur is

responsible to keep the radiations within the legal limits of his licence class, especially he has to follow the rules

and standards of the above mentioned EU directive and technical standards, especially EN 301 783-2. It may be

necessary to add separate harmonics filters when combining to amplifiers or SWR meters or antenna switching

devices.

This radio is not declared to be used in cars during motion, because we cannot declare that there is no possible

influence on the electronic engine management. Please respect the automotive directive requirements, which

request that such devices are not allowed to be connected to the car network as long as the car engine is running.

Display Panel Features: Illustrated below are all the VISUAL INDICATORS that

appear on the display, and the corresponding feature function that they associate

with.

Liquid Crystal Display Panel: The liquid crystal panel provides the user with a visual

information on the operation and status of the AE 497 W.

CAUTION: Due to the physical behaviour of LCD’s, liquid crystal displays should not

be subjected to extremes of temperature or humidity. If the unit is exposed to

temperatures below -20°C (-5°F) or above + 60°C ( +140°F), the display may

temporarily cease to function properly, and in some cases, could result in permanent

damage. Do not subject radio to extreme conditions, such as closed automobile in

direct sunlight or continuous sub zero temperatures.

All liquid crystal displays have a preferred viewing angle when the display contrast is

at a maximum. The best viewing point will vary by user, depending on such variables

as temperature, humidity, battery condition, and the actual users eyesight.

• Function ( FUNC) Mode: Indicates that the “FUNC” button has been selected,

which allows for operation of many of the various features.

• AM: Indicates AM mode operation.

• FM: Indicates FM mode operation.

• USB: Indicates Upper Sideband mode operation.

• LSB: Indicates Lower Sideband mode operation.

• SCAN: Indicates that the radio is in the “scan” mode which works in

conjunction with all frequency and five memory locations.

• Frequency Readout: Displays the corresponding frequency associated with

the channel you are communicating with.

• LOW: Indicates that the Tone Low feature has been turned on.

• SHIFT: Indicates that the SHIFT (+ and -).

• NB: Indicates that the Noise Blanker features has been turned on.

• “L”: Indicates that the memory recall ( = Load) mode has been activated

• “S”: Indicates that the radio is in the “Memory Store” mode, ready to receive a

channel into one of the memory locations.

• TX: Indicates that the radio is in the “transmit” mode.

ANALOG INDICATOR METER:

A B

A S-TX METER: Indicates relative incoming signal strength and RF out put

power.

BModulation / SWR Meter: Measures the percent modulation of the AM signal.

Note that the CAL/SWR/MOD switch must be in the “MOD” position for the

meter to measure and read modulation.

SWR METER: Measures the ratios of standing wave ratio of the antenna system,

which is critical in properly adjusting the length antenna and all related electrical

connections. This meter will indicate if there are any major changes in these critical

areas caused by such things as humidity, vibration, or corrosion, which will cause the

SWR Meter to rise. A rising SWR indicates that a problem exists.

To Calibrate SWR:

a) Set the radio into the AM mode.

b) Switch the CAL/SWR/MOD knob to the SWR position

c) Transmit by pressing the PTT button on the microphone, and adjust the

SWR/CAL, control until the needle reaches the CAL position on the meter.

d) Put the CAL/SWR/MOD knob back to the SWR position, and read the SWR value.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION OF THE RADIO

Prior to beginning operation if the transceiver, a basic installation must be prepared.

Installation of the transceiver itself is a rather simple procedure. In selecting the

location for the unit, two basic factors must be considered:

A. Access to 230V, 50Hz or 13,8V DC power source.

B. The location must be convenient for running the antenna lead in cable if an

outside antenna installation is proposed.

BASE STATION ANTENNA

Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter may be limited by the

Regulations or Licence classes, the antenna is the most important factor affecting

transmission distance. Only a properly matched antenna will allow maximum power

transfer from the 50 ohm transmission line to the radiating element.

The recommended method of antenna turning is to use the built in SWR meter to

adjust the antenna turning for maximum reflected power. The radio may be used with

any type of 50 ohm base station antenna.

A ground plane vertical antenna will provide the most uniform horizontal coverage.

This type of antenna is best suited for communication with a mobile unit. For point to

point operation where both stations are fixed, a directional beam will usually increase

communicating range since this beam antenna also allows the receiver to “listen” in

only one direction, thus reducing interfering signals.

OPERATING PROCEDURES TO RECEIVE

1. Turn the radio ON by pressing the POWER switch.

2. Press the “Mode” selection button (labeled “5” on the button) continuously until

you find the mode of operation you desire to operate in (AM, FM, USB, LSB).

3. Adjust the VOLUME control until you reach your desired listening level.

4. Turn the frequency selector knob to the desired operating frequency.

5. Turn the RF GAIN control completely clockwise.

6. Adjust the “CLARIFIER” control to clarify the SSB signals (start from middle

position).

7. Listen to the background noise coming from the radio. Turn the squelch control

slowly until the noise just disappears. (No signal should now be present). Leave

the control at this setting. The SQUELCH is now properly adjusted. The receiver

will remain quiet until a signal is actually received. Do not advance the knob too

far, as some of the weaker signals will not be heard.

OPERATING PRODEDURE TO TRANSMIT

1. Select the desired frequency of transmission.

2. Set the MIC GAIN control fully clockwise.

3. Activate the press to talk switch. The receiver and transmitter are controlled by

the press to talk switch on the microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is

activated. Release the switch to receiver.

4. Hold the microphone two inches from your mouth, speak in a clear normal voice.

5. The S-TX meter will indicate power output and the modulation meter will indicate

percentage of modulation as you speak into the microphone.

CAUTION: Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio before

transmitting. Transmitting without an antenna or a poorly matched antenna could

cause damage to the transmitter.

RESEIVING SSB SIGNALS

There are four types of signals presently used for communications in the Citizen

Band: AM, FM, USB and LSB. When the MODE switch on your unit is placed in the

AM position, only standard double sideband, fully carrier signals will be detected. An

SSB signal may be recognized while in the AM mode to produce an intelligible

output. The USB and LSB modes will detect upper sideband an lower sideband

respectively, and standard AM signals.
