Uniden HAND- HELD TRANSCEIVER AX52 - Manual (Page 5)

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO TRANSMIT
1. Extend Antenna to its full length and keep in a vertical position.
IMPORTANT: IF THE ANTENNA IS NOT FULLY EXTENDED, THE EFFI­
CIENCY OF THE TRANSMITTER IS REDUCED AND THE
POWER AMPLIFIER TRANSISTOR COULD BE DAMAGED.
2. Turn the power "on" by rotating the Volume Control clockwise,
3. Set the Channel Selector to the desired channel.
4. To transmit, press the Talk button. Speak slowly and clearly in normal voice, "2"
to "3" from the Microphone.
5. To receive, release the Talk button.
OPERATING PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE
1. Extend Antenna to its full length and keep in a vertical position.
2. Turn the unit "on" by rotating Volume Control clockwise.
3. Set the Channel Selector to the desired channel.
4. Set the Volume Control to a comfortable listening level,
5. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the Squelch Control slowly
clockwise until the noise JUST disappears (no signal should 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 control too far,
or some of the weaker signals will not be heard.
RANGE
The range of your hand-held transceiver will vary depending on conditions. Factors
such as antenna, terrain and battery charge all affect range. To insure maximum range,
always keep fully charged batteries in the unit. As voltage decreases, it directly affects
range. Though higher in initial cost than other types. Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable
Batteries are recommended. They can be recharged hundreds of times.
CHANGING OR INSTALLING NEW CRYSTALS
Your AX- 52 comes with Channel 14 installed in Channel 1 position. You can use any
3 channels of the 40 alloted to CB Band. Do not attempt to use non-standard crystals
or to make any internal adjustments to your AX-52. Such is prohibited by the D.O.C.
and result in illegal operation, for which you may be liable and may be fined. There­
fore, replacing and/or installing crystals must be made by or under supervision of the
holder of an D.O.C. issued 1st or 2nd class radio operator license. Following informa­
tion is provided only for such license holders,
1. Remove the rear cover from the transceiver.
2. Insert transmit crystal into the dual pin socket marked TX-2 or TX-3 (see below).
3. Insert receive crystal into the dual pin socket marked RX-2 or RX-3.
