installations there are still different rules, depending on the programming and the country. For CB
radios this means: the technical standards EN 300 135 and EN 300 433 are valid Europe-wide, but
not the use of specific modulation types and channel numbers. So there still are differences in the
programming of the channel numbers in AM and FM and still some countries charge license fees
for CB radios. All radios, for which there are somewhere in Europe restrictions, have beside the CE
sign also an “Alert Sign” sign (see last page). All manufacturers have been obliged to inform their
users noticeable on the package and in the manual, what they have to follow while using the
device.
This is in so far understandable, because the frequencies were used for different objects in every
country and so it takes a while to harmonize all those different frequencies.
The AE 6690 achieves the for CB radio harmonised European radio-standards EM 300 433-2 and
EN 300 135-2 as well as EN 301 489-13 for the electromagnetic compatibility and EN 60 950-1 for
the electric safety. So this device does not transmit any harmful radio interference and is on the
other side also immune to radiations from other devices, if it is used as intended. In generally this
is the case, if you do not connect any cables to the microphone- and loudspeaker jack which are
longer than 3 m.
Our recommendation:
if you use your radio with the AM-programming, please consider the
licence conditions mentioned above seriously! You risk, if you are found that You have a wrong
programming and you cannot show a licence, a possible penalty or other sanctions. It is also
important that you register in your home country, if there still is a registration necessary.
In Germany the “Bundesnetzagentur” is responsible for potential special permits in border areas. In
bigger cities you find the address of the responsible branch office either in the telephone directory
or you ask in the central office of the “Bundesnetzagentur”: 0049-6131-180. The Circulation Card is
also released by the “Bundesnetzagentur” in Germany and some other country’s administrations.
Safety Instructions
Users with pacemakers are recommended as a precaution to consult their doctor before operating
the CB radio. Not all types of pacemakers are sufficiently protected from radiation from a nearby
transmitter, so do not assume it is safe to start operation without checking! Please remember that
you are in the immediate vicinity of a transmitting aerial, particularly when used as a mobile. If your
doctor, or the manufacturer of the pacemaker, has recommended keeping a certain safe distance
from the aerial, then please follow their instructions!
Do not transmit without connecting the aerial and never touch the aerial during transmission!
Please also take road safety into account! CB Radio (even when only receiving, particularly when
volume is turned up) can divert your attention from the road! Road safety is of course to be given
priority! Therefore only use your ALBRECHT AE 6690 when the traffic situation enables it to be
used safely.
