> no interference of the roadworthiness,
> good access to the controls of the car,
> sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating of the radio in transmit mode.
Please consider the perspective onto the display while driving. Starting from a certain angle
of view, the readability of the display diminishes. An intensive solar irradiation can also affect
the readability of the display. So it is recommended to check the best position before the final
installation. The unit can easily be fixed onto different positions in the car by using the enclo-
sed mounting bracket.
4) Microphone DM-906T
Plug the microphone ( 1 ) into the 6 pin socket ( 12 ) on the front panel. Note it will only go in
one way round. No transmission and receiving is possible without the microphone. The pin
assignment of the GDCH standard microphone plug is given below:
PIN 1 Modulation
PIN 2 Loudspeaker
PIN 3 PTT
PIN 4 Up/Down
PIN 5 Ground
PIN 6 +12 Volt
Solder side view of the microphone connector or top view of the microphone plug.
The standard microphone DM-906T, which is equipped with channel selection and signal
tone, is included with the TS-6M. This microphone is the best selection for the TS-6M.
5) Power source
Before connecting the unit to a suitable power source via the fused DC power cable (15), the
device must be switched off by turning the volume control ( 10 ) [
Off / Vol
] counterclockwi-
se to the very end until a clicking sound is heard.
Then, connect the two naked leads at the end of the cable with the supply voltage of the vehi-
cle battery. The unit is designed to operate with 12 volts and a negative ground electrical
system. Lay the cable as far as possible away from aggregates which can cause interferen-
ce. Watch for the correct polarity during the connection.
BLACK
connect to - MINUS / ground of the car battery.
RED
connect to 12 volts + PLUS of the car/lorry battery.
If the power source is not disconnected after putting the engine off, the last settings will
remain stored, after the unit and the car are switched off.
After proper connection of the microphone, the aerial and power source, radio operation can
be started.
Operation of the TEAM TS-6M
1) Switching on [ Off / Vol ]
To turn on the radio, turn the On / Off switch (10) [
Off / Vol
] clockwise.
With the help of the squelch control (9) [
SQ / ASQ
], you can set a comfortable volume level.
Set the manual squelch to a level where the constant noise of an empty channel is audible - see
paragraph 2 Squelch. Now, adjust the volume level.
The memory function of the radio will set the last used norm, frequency band and channel after
turning the radio off and then back on, as long as the power supply is not disrupted.
2) Squelch [ SQ / ASQ ]
The strong background noise, which occurs always on free channels, can be suppressed by
the squelch function, which has an automatic and a manual mode.
By turning the squelch control (9) [
SQ / ASQ
] slowly clockwise you will find a point where
the noise disappears. The squelch control should only be turned up far enough to stop the
background noise on an unused channel. Turning the control further clockwise will increas-
ingly suppress stronger interfering signals as well as weak stations.
The automatic squelch [
ASQ
] (9) uses a preset average value. It can be activated by turn-
ing the squelch control counterclockwise all the way to the end. The automatic squelch mode
is indicated by the ASQ symbol (6F) in the LCD.
3) Channel selection
[
UP
] [
DN
]
All channels can be selected by pushing the channel selector keys (2) [
UP
] and (3) [
DN
] at
the microphone or by turning the rotary channel selector (8) on the front panel of the radio. The
selected channel is displayed on the LCD (6). No channel selection is possible while the radio
is in TX mode. The channels are arranged in a consecutive order, in a ring-like-system, i.e.
after the highest channel number it starts again with channel no. 1 and vice versa. For com-
munication with a partner CB station, both transceivers must be adjusted to the same channel
and the same modulation type.
4) Modulation selection [ Mode ]
For the TS-6M, the operating modes AM and FM are available. However, the version TS-6M
c (EC CEPT) and the norm EC of the the version TS-6M Full Multi Norm operate in FM only.
The selected modulation type is indicated by the AM/FM symbol (6E). To toggle between the
modes press the mode key (7) [
Mode
].
If the selected norm does not accept the modulation type AM on the actual channel, you will
hear a receipt tone, but it remains on the modulation type FM.
If the radio is set to AM on the actual channel, and you select another channel, on which the
AM mode is inhibited, the modulation changes automatically to FM mode. If you select once
more another channel, on which the AM mode is allowed again, the modulation switches
automatically to back to AM mode.
With the version
TS-6M Full Multi Norm
in the norm UK, you can toggle between the EC
band and the UK band, which are indicated by the symbols
EC
and
UK
, by pressing the mode
key (7) [
Mode
]. The CB band EU consists of the 40 CEPT channels. The CB band UK con-
sists of 40 channels starting from 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz.
After turning the radio off, the TS-6M stores the last channel and the band, as long as the
power source remains connected.
