Vour AX 144 is completely factory aligned and quality assurance tested. To obtain the maximum benefit and pleasure from your AX 144 please read very carefully the contents o f this manuał before attempting to install or operate the transceiver.
INSTALLATION Location Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket betöre starting the installation. Select a location that is convenient for operation and does not interfère with the driver or passenger in the vehicle. In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted to the dash panel with the microphone bracket beside it.
This prevents the set being left on accidentally when the driver leaves the car and also permits operating the radio w ithout the engine running. You can locate the accessory contact on most ignition switches by tracing the power wire from the AM broadcast receiver in the car.
Mobile whip antennas utilize the metal body of the vehicle as a ground plane. When mounted on a corner of the vehicle, they are slightly directional, in the direction of the body of the vehicle. For all practical purposes, however, the radiation pattern is non-directional.
The AX 144 is equipped w ith a Clarifier. By tuning the Clarifier, you can slightly change the frequency of the receiver, so you get a normal tone.

MIKE GAIN: This control is used to adjust, as required, microphone input sensitivity fo r optimum amount o f modulation in transmit UNIDEN's citizen's band transceivers hâve been designed to permit the user to attain levels of modulation up to 100% depending on the setting of the microphone gain control, using the microphone provided with the unit.
INDICATOR FUNCTION S/RF METER: This meter displays relative transmitter RF output power when transmitting, and input signal strength when receiving. The meter is illuminated when power is on, the illumination сап be adjusted by the DIMMER switch for optimum brightness. T X /R X INDICATOR: The T X /R X light in the upper right corner of the front panel lights in red color when the microphone button is pressed and transmitter is in operation.
