Installation
Always mount the transceiver where the switches are easy accessible. Important points of
view for the correct mounting position are:
☛
no interference of the roadworthiness,
☛
good access of the controls of the car,
☛
sufficient air circulation to prevent overheating of the radio in transmit mode.
Please take into account that the LED-display is only good readable from a certain angle. An
intensive solar radiation 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 dif-
ferent positions in the car by using the enclosed mounting bracket.
Microphone DM-106S or DM-106VOX
Plug the microphone into the 6 pin socket ( 17 ) 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:

The ME-4 is available with 2 different microphones, i.e. either the standard microphone
DM-106S equipped with channel selection and signal tone or the VOX microphone
DM-106VOX with channel selection and VOX function. The VOX function is a on/off switch-
able voice activated control of the transmitter. When the VOX function is switched on the
transmitter will be activated automatically by speaking in the microphone without pressing the
push to talk key at the microphone anymore. The delay time ( on air time while speaking
breaks ) and sensitivity ( adjustment to your personal voice volume ) of the VOX function is
individually adjustable. While transmitting the TX control LED at the microphone lights up.
Power source
Before connecting the power source to the fused DC power cable ( 20 ) [ DC 13.2V ] the device
must be switched OFF by turning the volume control ( 15 ) [ VOL / OFF ] anticlockwise as far
as the stop and hearing a switching sound. The transceiver is designed to operate from a power
source of 13.8 volts DC, employing negative ground electrical system. For base-station opera-
tion use a suitable power supply ( 13.2 V / 2.0 A, e. g. TEAM LabNT ). The power supply should
be designed for operation with a transceiver, otherwise interference from the mains may occur.
Lay the cable as far as possible away from aggregates which can cause interference.
Watch for the correct polarity of the DC power cable.
BLACK connect to - MINUS / ground of the car battery.
RED
connect to 12 volts + PLUS of the car battery.
After microphone, aerial and power source have been correctly connected, radio operation
can be undertaken.

1. Switching On [ VOL / OFF ]
Before switching ON set the squelch control ( 13 ) [ SQ / ASQ ] to the counterclockwise
stop but without activating the internal switch. The device is switched ON by turning the
volume control ( 15 ) [ VOL / OFF ] clockwise to the centre position. The channel display
( 7 ) and the LED ( 6 ) [ RX ] light up. Adjust the receiver noise with the volume control to
the desired level.
2. Squelch [ SQ / ASQ ]
By turning the squelch control ( 13 ) [ 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 ( 2 ) [
▲
] and ( 3 )
[
▼
] at the microphone, or by turning the rotary channel selector ( 5 ), to the desired chan-
nel. The channel number will be displayed in the LED window ( 7 ). For communication
with a partner CB station, both transceivers must be adjusted to the same channel and the
same mode type.
4. Receiving Tone [ MD ]
The type ME-4c is equipped with a receiving tone key ( 16 ) [ MD ]. By switching on the set
the receiving tone sounds mellow and is indicated by LED ( 8 ) [ M2 ]. By pushing the mode
key ( 16 ) the receiving tone is changing to a bright sound in the loudspeaker. When the
bright sound is switched on the LED ( 8 ) [ M1 ] lights up.
5. Modulation Selection [ MD ]
The type ME-4 is availabe in AM / FM modulation. By switching on the set it is always on
channel 9 and FM mode which is indicated by LED ( 8 ) [ M2 ]. By pushing key (16 )
[ MD ] the mode can be toggled between AM and FM. The selected AM mode will be indi-
cated by the LED ( 8 ) [ M1 ].
☛
The type ME-4 is allowed for use in Germany on FM all 40 channels but on AM only 12
channels i.e. channel 4 - 15. In Norway and Sweden it is allowed to use FM mode only.
☛
The type ME-4c is equipped according to the European Norm EN 300 135 with 40
channels FM only.
