6、n of Conformity General informations, Manufacturers Declaration of Conformity This amateur radio transceiver corresponds to the essential requirements of the EU Directive(s) 89/336/EEC (EMC), Low-Voltage-Directive 73/23/EEC, R&TTE Direktive 1999/5/EC, fulfills the harmonised European technical stand

7、ards for commercially available amateur radios EN 301 783-2, EN 301 489-1, EN 301 489-15 and EN 60 950 and is marked with CE and Alert Sign“. The original issues of our conformity declarations in their latest versions, as well as all technical documentations, may be downloaded anytime from our servi

8、ce-homepage www.hobbyradio.de The radio may be used under following regulatory conditions and requirements: In most European and overseas countries only licenced amateur radio operators are allowed to use this radio (e.g. in Germany 1 Gesetz ber den Amateurfunk“, BGBL, Part III, Nr. 9022-1). Even li

9、cenced radio operators are only allowed to use the radio on frequencies, which are allocated to the amateur radio service of their licence class. In some countries restrictions are in force, where the physically switchable frequency range must not exceed the allocated frequency range limits. In such

10、 countries operators must set the programming jumpers correctly before connecting and using the radio. Exposure of persons to radiated emissions is also limited in some countries. Please respect the power limits and safety distances, if requested by the local radio authority. This radio may be used

11、only for amateur radio purposes. Use for commercial radio purposes is subject to special licences and approvals in certain countries. The radio must be operated together with all connected accessory items in accordance to the EMC directive, so that the directive requirements are fullfilled with the

12、complete configuration. Additonal power amplifiers may need additional harmonics filters to maintain radiation limits of unwanted spurious emissions. The amateur radio operator is responsable for compliance of the complete configuration of his amateur radio station ALAN Electronics GmbH The German o

13、r other languages manuals (if supplied) may be different in some parts according to national special settings and requirements. Technical modifications improving the state of the art of this radio may be subject without prior notice. Technical documents are provided in their latest issue for free do

15、. It can be used everywhere provided that a suitable 12 V power supply and an external 2 m antenna is available, e.g. as base station, portable (Fieldday) station, on boats , caravans, in motor homes and with restrictions- in road vehicles. The radio is designed for intermitting duty cycle operation

16、- like in a typical amateur radio station setup working via repeaters (10 % transmission, 90 % receive time periods). This radio is not intended to be used for continuous transmission without allowing cooling-down periods. Longer transmission periods are acceptable with reduced (10 Watt) power setti

17、ng. Please do not exhibit your radio to extreme climatic or environmental conditions, like excessive humidity, dust, high temperatures or direct sunlight. Do not open the radio unless you are able to repair SMD electronics - there are no user serviceable parts inside. For alignment and repair approp

18、riate test instruments are necessary. The radio comes with a preprogrammed frequency range depending on the amateur radio regulations in country of sales. The tuning range may exceed the 144-146 MHz European amateur band limits where allowed. Some countries do not tolerate amateur equipment exceedin

19、g the band limits on transmitter / receiver side. Setting to various limits is internally possible by hardware jumpers. Even if the radio may be able to operate outside of the band limits 144-146 MHz, we cannot give any guarantee for keeping the specifications on out of band frequencies. Installatio

20、n as mobile radio The AE 540 is designed as allround 2 m transceiver for various installations. You can either operate it at home as a base station or on boats, motor homes, caravans and cars. For installation as a mobile station in the car, a mobile mount device is enclosed. Mount the set in such a

21、 way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight if possible, as this will lead to an increase in temperature and can decrease the (sets) 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. The mobile fixi

22、ng device should be attached to the dashboard, the tunnel slot or to any other suitable place using the enclosed tapping screws. Do not install the set in a place where it could cause injuries in case of an accident (be particularly careful to ensure free leg movement). Take care not to damage any u

23、nderlying wires during installation! Insert the radio into the fixing device. Secure the set with the large knurled screws (using the enclosed plastic washers) firmly at the required angle. Also mount the microphone fixing device using the enclosed screws in an easily-accessible place. In order to p

24、revent interference to the vehicle electronics from transmission in the vehicle, please make sure to follow any mounting instructions by the vehicle manufacturer for radios and antennas. Important note: the end of the transition period of the new European automotive directive“ imposes restrictions o

25、n installing and operating electronic devices in motor driven vehicles. The interpretation of the requirements of this directive for amateur radios is not quite cleared. Some authorities request that even radios, not primarily intended to be used exclusively in cars should have an additional e-appro

26、val mark, while other authorities respect a special treatment of two way radios under the R&TTE directive and EMC directive with their normal CE and alert sign marking. Some authorities request that such radios shall not be operated while the car is in motion and the engine is running. Generally, th

27、e car manufacturers have the right to issue restrictions for using two way radios in new cars (which have been put into service since 1.10.2002). Please consult the car manufacturer and ask for their installation hints, especially for EMC compatible antenna locations and DC connecting points. 5 Conn

28、ecting to DC power Connect the power cable of the radio to 12 V DC power supply of your car, motor home or boat. In caravans or at home we recommend to use a suitable AC/ DC power supply, capable to deliver 6-8 A at stabilized supply voltage between 10.8 and 15.6 V. If possible, do not increase cabl

29、e length and connect the power cord as close as possible directly to the battery terminals. The cable has a looped-in glass fuse for 10 A protection. If this fuse should blow, try to find out the reason, and replace the fuse only with its original value and never with wires, silver paper or aluminum

30、 foils! Connect the red wire with the positive + terminal, the black wire with the negative (-) terminal of the battery. The negative wire terminal is grounded (standard in most cars). However, do not use the car body as negative terminal and try to connect the () terminal of the battery instead, wh

31、erever possible! Please note that grounding of the housing may cause electrolytic and galvanic corrosion effects in steel or aluminum boats. Insulating of the radio housing and antenna may be necessary in such cases. Rear side connections Antenna selection Mobile (car) antenna Simple reduced size ma

32、gnetic base antennas or car antennas with window mount or glass mount are not the best choice for 25 W-30 W powerfull radios! Please install a powerfull VHF mobile antenna with grounded antenna foot. Keep maximum possible distance to passengers and place the antenna accorcing to the car manufacturer

33、s instructions as far away as possible from sensitive electronic circuits of the car wiring. Check the good ground connection to the car body of the antenna foot. Please remember that you and the passengers are in the immediate vicinity of a transmitting aerial, particularly when used as a mobile. I

34、n case you are wearing a pacemaker, and the doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker has recommended keeping a certain safe distance from the aerial, then please follow their instructions! Any antenna must be checked and aligned for best possible SWR (standing wave ratio). The final power amp tra

35、nsistor of your AE 540 is able to tolerate an SWR up to 1:2. Use a PL 259 type plug for antenna connection. A good, VHF usable quality has teflon insulation! Do not transmit without connecting the aerial and never touch the aerial during transmission! Antenna socket for PL-259 (UHF) Power cable assem
