. IMPORTANT NOTES: a. Always operate wit SBX-11 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY) Turn the power on by turning the VOLUME control clockwise. Check the meter indication for battery condition, (See battery section). . Connect antenna system to SBX-11 per drawirgs in antenna section, Note antenna type. With a Fixed Tuned type of antenna the CHANNEL and antenna frequency must correspond. To Receive, adjust the VOLUMF and CLARIFIER controls for best reception. To Transmit, press microphone u..on and talk for POWER OUT indication on the meter. . Tf the antenna is of the Tuneable Type: (a) Select the desired channel, (o) Throw ‘he SSB- TUNE switch to TUNE, (c) Witn the power turned on, press the microphone button while quickly tuning the antenna for maxim...) POWER OUT indication on the meter, (d) Throw the SSB-TUNE switch back to SSB ond operate as in paragraphs 5 and 6, 558-TUNE switch in the SSB position. B. Always turn the power off aftetuse by tutning the WQLUME CONTROL to OFF. ¢. If operating trouble is encountered, see following page.SBX-11 TROUBLE If ofter following the operating instructions on the previous page the SBX-11 fails to work properly proceed as follows: Re-read and repeat each step of the operating instructions carefully making certain thot each control is in the correct position for operation, If there is no indication of battery voltage with the power turned on, and you know the batteries are new or in a good charged condition (a) Check battery polarity and connections (b) Check that the battery plug is fully engaged (c) Check the fuse and replace with spare if necessary. If battery voltage is low with good batteries temperature may be too low for type of battery in use, Nickel-Cadmium batteries should be used below freezing. If items 1 and 2 check o.k,, check the antenna system for loose connections or broken wires. Note: Be sure the antenna is of the correct frequency. If the SBX-11 still does not operate consult your deale:FIXED TUNED TYPE DOUBLET CUT TO FREQUEncy TUNEABLE TY PE TowAslce wie / hea RABAL CFR POR GRown0) WNN3IINY | NolioasCHECK BATTERIES OFTEN To check for weak batteries, operate the trans- mitter for 5 seconds in the TUNE condition; then check the meter indication immediately upon releasing the microphone button.
