Maintenance and Adjustable
Your CB transceiver is specifically designed for the environment encountered in
mobile installations. The use of all solid state circuitry and its light weight result in
high reliability. Should a failure occur, however, review the following, then if
necessary replace parts only with identical parts. Do not substitute. Refer to the
schematic diagram and parts list.
1.
Check connections to the source of power and make sure it is the 13.8 VDC
required to operate your radio.
2.
Check the fuse in the DC power cord. The main power lead (red wire) has a 2
Amp 3 AG type fuse installed. Use only the above specified type and size fuse for
maximum protection. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
3.
Make certain the microphone is properly plugged in.
4.
Make certain the antenna is properly connected and tuned for mini-mum SWR.
NOTE: Supernova antennas include full instructions for tuning your antenna. If
you're still in doubt about the procedure, contact the supernova dealer from whom
you purchased your radio and antenna, for advice. If you hired an installer to
install your radio and antenna, contact him.
If you are unable to correct the problem, refer to the WARRANTY SERVICE
INSTRUCTIONS at the end of this manual for the correct procedure for warranty and
post-warranty service from supernova.
Adjustment Warning
Replacement or substitution of certain parts with replacements other than those
recommended by Supernova Electronics, may be a violation of the technical
regulations of Part 95 of the FCC Rules, or the Type Acceptance requirements of Part
2 of said rules.
When making adjustments other than transmitter adjustments, be sure to re-read
applicable portions of this instruction manual to make certain you are following
correct procedure and that the radio was properly installed, etc.
