6. Transmitting [ PTT ]
To transmit depress and hold the key ( 3 ) [ PTT ]. At he LCD the TX symbol ( 12 ) is indi-
cated. The sensitivity of the microphone ( 1 ) has been set to give good results speaking
normally at a distance of 2 - 4 inches. Speaking too loudly will cause distortions and make
the signal difficult to understand. While the set is in the transmit mode there is no key entry
possible and the receiver is muted. On completion of the transmission release the PTT key
and the set will revert to receiving mode.
7. Channel Scanning [ SC ]
If this function is active, the unit looks for occupied channels. As this function does not
work with unmuted receiver, set the squelch control ( 15 ) [ SQ/ASQ ] according to Para
“2“ before activating it.
Then depress the key ( 16 ) [ SC ] so that the scan symbol ( 6 ) [ SC ] appears in the LCD
window. Now the channels are stepping upwards. The scan function stops on the next
channel on which a signal opens the squelch. The scan continues, after the squelch has
been being closed for 7 seconds.
To deactivate the scan function and to stay on the actual channel, depress the key ( 16 )
[ SC ], any other key of an active function, the Up/Down keys, the PTT key ( 3 ), or just
turn at the rotary channel switch ( 9 ). The scan symbol ( 6 ) [SC] will disappear from the
display.
8. Channel 9 [ C9 ]
The priority channel 9 can be quickly selected by pressing the key ( 13 ) [ C9 ]. The chan-
nel number 9 is indicated at the channel LC-display ( 11 ). No other function except trans-
mitting can be entered as long as the priority channel 9 is switched ON. Pressing ( 13 )
[ C9 ] again will cancel the function and the unit returns to the previous selected channel.
9. Dual watch function [ DW ]
This function allows you to watch activity on two channels at a time. Before activating this
function make sure that the squelch is closed on free channels.
First select the first survey channel. by means of the rotary channel switch ( 9 ) or the
Up/Down keys ( 5 ) and ( 4 ) on the microphone.
Then depress briefly the key ( 14 ) [ DW ] so that the dual watch symbol ( 21 ) [ DW ] flash-
es in the LCD window. Now select the second survey channel by means of the rotary
channel ( 9 ) switch or the Up/Down keys ( 5 ) and ( 4 ) on the microphone. Then depress
briefly the key ( 14 ) [ DW ] once again so that the dual watch symbol ( 21 ) [ DW ] appears
constantly now. Make sure that these entries are made within 4 seconds, otherwise the
DW function will be aborted, which will be indicated by the disappearing of the dual watch
symbol ( 21 ) [ DW ] in the display.
If on none of both survey cannels is received any signal, the unit will step from one chan-
nel to the other two times every second. If on one of these channels is received a signal,
which opens the squelch, the unit will remain on it until the channel is free again. 7 sec-
onds later the unit will continue stepping from one channel to the other like before.
If you press briefly the key ( 14 ) [ DW ] another time, the dual watch symbol ( 21 ) [ DW ]
will flash again in the LCD window. Now you can select another second survey channel
by means of the rotary channel switch ( 9 ) or the Up/Down keys ( 5 ) and ( 4 ) on the
microphone. That channel, on which the unit was while the key ( 14 ) [ DW ] is pressed,
is the first survey channel now.

1. Switching On [ VOL / OFF ]
Before switching ON set the squelch control ( 15 ) [ SQ / ASQ ] to the counterclockwise
stop but without activating the internal switch. The device is switched ON by turning the
volume control ( 17 ) [ VOL / OFF ] clockwise to the centre position. The channel number
9 ( 11 ) in FM mode is shown at the LC-display and the LCD backlight is illuminated. Adjust
the receiver noise with the volume control to the desired level.
2. Squelch [ SQ / ASQ ]
By turning the squelch control ( 15 ) [ SQ / ASQ ] slowly clockwise, the background noise
can be suppressed. The squelch control should only be turned up enough to stop the
background noise on an unused channel. Turning the control further clockwise will
increasingly suppress interfering signals as well as weak stations.
The automatic squelch [ ASQ ] can be activated by turning the squelch control counter-
clockwise until the control clicks and the normal squelch function is switched off.
3. Channel Selection [
▲ ▼
]
All channels can be selected by pushing the channel selector keys ( 4 ) [
▼
] and ( 5 )
[
▲
] at the microphone, or by turning the rotary channel selector ( 9 ), to the desired chan-
nel. The channel number will be displayed in the LCD window ( 11 ). For communication
with a partner CB station, both transceivers must be adjusted to the same channel and the
same modulation type.
4. Receiving Tone [ MD ]
The type MC-8c is equipped with a receiving tone key ( 18 ) [ MD ]. By switching on the set
the receiving tone sounds mellow and is indicated by LCD ( 7 ) [ LO ]. By pushing the mode
key ( 18 ) the receiving tone is changing to a bright sound in the loudspeaker. When the
bright sound is switched on the LCD ( 7 ) [ HI ] is indicated.
5. Modulation Selection [ MD ]
The types MC-8 & MC-8i are availabe in AM / FM modulation. By switching on the set it is
always on channel 9 and FM mode which is indicated by LCD ( 20 ) [ FM ]. By pushing
key (18 ) [ MD ] the mode can be toggled between AM and FM. The selected AM mode
will be indicated by the LCD ( 20 ) [ AM ].
☛
The type MC-8 is allowed for use in Germany only on FM all switchable 80 channels but
on AM only 12 channels i.e. channel 4 - 15.
☛
The type MC-8i is allowed for use in Germany on FM all switchable 40 channels but on
AM only 12 channels i.e. channel 4 - 15. In Norway and Sweden the use of 40 channels
FM is allowed only.
☛
The type MC-8c is equipped according to the European Norm EN 300 135 with 40
channels FM only.
