6) LCD background illumination [B]
By pressing briefly the LCD illumination toggle key (16) [B] you can change the LCD back-
light illumination colour from orange to blue and vice versa. If you depress the LCD illumina-
tion toggle key (16) [B] for about 2 to 3 seconds, the LCD backlight illumination switches itself
completely off. In the same way the LCD backlight illumination can be recovered again.
7) Modulation selection [Mode]
The RoadCom-FS can operate in AM or in FM modulation.However, some versions work only in
FM. When being switched on after a disruption of the supply source the unit works on channel
number 9 in FM mode which is indicated the symbol "FM". If the unit accepts also the modula-
tion type AM on the actual channel, you can toggle it by pressing the key (12) [Mode] between
the modulation types AM and FM. The selected AM mode will be indicated by the symbol AM. If
the unit does not accept the modulation type AM on the actual channel, you will only hear a
receipt tone, but it remains on the modulation type FM.
If the unit 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 Full Multi Norm UK, you can toggle between the EU band and the UK band, which
is indicated by symbol EU or UK, by pressing the mode key (12) [Mode]. When being swit-
ched on after a disruption of the supply source the unit works on channel number 9 in the UK
band. The CB band EU consists of the 40 CEPT channels. The CB band UK consists of 40
channels starting from 27.60125 MHz to 27.99125 MHz. It is permitted only in Great Britain.
After switching it off, the unit stores the last channel of the actual band and also of that band,
which is actually not in use, as long as the power source remains connected.
8) Version Selection
For changing the current frequency norm, please hold the channel 9 priority key (20) [CH9/19]
while turning the radio on. The number of the current norm (1-6) is displayed, while all other
symbols disappear. Select the norm with the channel 9 priority key (20) and confirm your
selection by turning the radio off and on again.
To confirm your selection, turn the radio off and on again or wait for approx. six seconds until
the radio automatically returns to operation mode.
1 DE 80 FM (26,565-27,405 MHz), 4 W / 40 AM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 4 W
2 EI 40 FM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 4 W / 40 AM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 4 W
3 EC 40 FM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 4 W
4 EU 40 FM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 4 W / 40 AM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 1 W
5 UK 40 FM (27,60125-27,99125 MHz), 4 W / 40 FM (26,965-27,405 MHz), 4 W
6 PL 40 FM (26,960-27,400 MHz), 4 W / 40 AM (26,960-27,400 MHz), 4 W
Regarding the permissions and restrictions of the individual norms in the various european
countries, please check the radio passport, which is included in the scope of delivery. The user
is solely responsible for the selection of the permissible norm in country of operation.
Note: The norm RoadCom-FS -c (EC CEPT) is internally set to 40 channels FM, 4 Watts
only. This version can be operated in Austria. The norm RoadCom-FS -df (EC CEPT) is inter-
nally set to 43 channels FM, 4 Watts / 40 channels AM, 1 Watts and can only be operated in
the Netherlands.

9) Transmitting
To transmit, depress and hold the key (4) [PTT] on the microphone (1). On the LCD, the sym-
bol TX appears, and the bar meter at the bottom of the display shows the relative transmit
signal strength. For best quality, speak 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 (4) and the set will revert to receiving mode.
10) Call tone
If you press the transmit key (4) [PTT] and the call key (5) [SIGNAL] on the microphone (1) at
the same time, a call tone will be transmitted and can be heard only by the partner station, pro-
vided it is switched on the same channel and the same modulation type.
11) CTCSS [CTCSS] & [SET]
The function CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) allows the pointedly selec-
tion of certain radios within a selected FM channel. When transmitting, the CTCSS code, a
low tone (67 -300 Hz), is sent. This CTCSS code controls the squelch of the receiving radio.
Only if the transmitted CTCSS-Tone matches the CTCSS-tone of the receiver, the squelch
opens and the transmitted signal can be heard.
By default, no CTCSS code is assigned to a FM-channel. To set a CTCSS code to a FM-
channel please follow these instructions:
1. Select the FM-channel that a CTCSS code should be assigned to.
2. Hold the CTCSS key [CTCSS] pressed until the CTCSS symbol in the display starts blinking.
3. Assign one of the 39 available CTCSS codes (0 - 39; 0 = no code selected)with the Set
[SET] or CTCSS key [CTCSS]. Step through the CTCSS code numbers (0 - 39) until the
desired code has been reached. When using the CTCSS-key pay attention to not press the
key too long, otherwise the the setting process is aborted.
4. To confirm your selection press the CTCSS-key for approximately one second. The CTCSS
symbol stops blinking and lights constantly.
12) Last channel recall [LCR]
By a brief depressing on the key (17) [LCR] the transceiver will return to that channel and that
modulation type, to which it was adjusted, when the PTT key was pressed the last time. The
actual channel and modulation type will be stored temporarily in a register. If you press on the
key (17) [LCR] once again, the unit will skip back to the previously selected channel and
modulation type stored in the register, provided, that you did not change the channel and/or
the modulation type in the meantime.
13) Priority Channel 9 / 19 [CH9/19]
The RoadCom-FS contains the priority channels 9 and 19. Priority channel 9 is selected by pres-
sing the key (20) [CH9/19] once. To set priority channel 19, press the key (20) [CH9/19] twice.
When a priority channel is set, the channel and the frequency will blink in the display and all func-
tion keys including the rotary channel selector are disabled. Only transmission and activation of
the VOX function are possible. To return to the previous channel, press the key (20) [CH9/19]
once, if priority channel 9 has been selected, or twice, if priority channel 19 has been set. Once
returned to regular mode, all functions will be enabled again.
