Operating any switch, other than the TALK switch, can interfere with the riders ability to control the handlebars, which can cause instability that could lead to a crash. Always adjust the settings of the CB radio before riding. Do not operate the CB radio with your hand away from the handlebar. Do not use the CB radio under dangerous traffic conditions. Only use the CB radio when traffic and road conditions are such that it is safe to do so. NOTICE Do not expose the CB radio to excessive amounts or a forceful flow of water. When washing the motorcycle, do not spray water on the CB radio with a hose. The CB radio is designed to be water resistant and moisture proof, and should withstand riding in normal rainy conditions. If exposed to more severe conditions, water or moisture might enter the device and could result in failure. Do not use in a damaged condition. Do not use the CB radio if the casing is physically damaged. The CB radios water resistant and moisture proof capabilities will be impaired and which could lead to a failure. 4 CAUTION Do not raise the volume to an excessive level. To help prevent potentially dangerous situations while riding, keep the volume to a level where you can still hear surrounding noises. Listening at an excessive volume can damage your hearing. NOTE Use with the engine running. If the CB radio is used with the engine stopped, the battery voltage may drop and the engine may not start. Do not disassemble/modify the CB radio. The CB radio is built with precision electronic parts. Do NOT disassemble at any time. Doing so will void the Warranty and violates the mandated usage rules. 5 Notes for Installation NOTICE Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper installation. Do not use a power source other than 12V. The CB radio is designed only for a 12V DC negative ground motorcycle. Do not connect to another voltage power source. Mount the controls in a location where you can reach them with your hands on the handlebar. To prevent a dangerous riding situation, mount the controls in a location where they do not inhibit your ability to control the motorcycle, and where you can operate the TALK switch with your hands on the handlebar. Use the Honda genuine CB antenna. There may be some CB radio interference if a non-

genuine Honda antenna is used. Always use the specified fuse rating. Not doing so may cause damage to the CB radio unit. 6 Contents Introduction ..................................................................................3 Notes on Safety ...........................................................................3 Notes to Users .............................................................................4 FEATURES ...................................................................................8 PACKAGE LIST ............................................................................9 CONTROLLER COMPONENTS ..................................................10 Handlebar CB Radio Controller ........................................10 Panel ....................................................................................10 DISPLAY FEATURES .................................................................. 11 Display ................................................................................ 11 BASIC OPERATION ....................................................................12 OTHER FUNCTIONS ...................................................................15 Advanced Operations ........................................................15 Adjusting Squelch (1 to 20) ...............................................15 ON/OFF of Roger Beep Function ......................................18 DAILY MAINTENANCE ................................................................20 SPECIFICATIONS ........................................................................21 AFTER-SALES SERVICE ............................................................22 7 FEATURES This is a motorcycle CB radio that complies with the FCC Rules and Regulations.

To increase or decrease the volume rapidly, press and hold the VOLUME lever UP or DOWN. VOLUME level range: from 0 (min) to 20 (max). The CB radio volume can be set independently from the audio volume. 4 Transmitting Press the TALK switch Press the TALK switch to start transmission. The audio functions are muted during transmission so as to not interfere with communication with the other party. When a TALK switch for the passenger (sold separately) is used, pressing the rear TALK switch will allow the passenger to transmit. When both of the TALK switches are pressed, the voice of both the rider and passenger are transmitted. 14 OTHER FUNCTIONS Advanced Operations Press the CB-VOL lever down Press the MUTE button Note that the MUTE switch turns the audio volume down but not the CB radio. Use the CB-VOL switch to turn the volume down so you may hear surrounding noises more clearly. NOTE: Due to the location of the TALK switch, do not risk your safety by trying to press the TALK switch while operating the clutch. 15 OTHER FUNCTIONS Adjusting Squelch (1 to 20) Squelch Electrical interference will occur if other CB operators are using the same channel. To avoid such interference, set the SQUELCH LEVEL higher than your current setting. With a higher SQUELCH LEVEL, you will only receive signals from the closest radio signal on your channel. A squelch setting of 20 will receive strong signals and a squelch setting of 1 will receive weaker signals but will produce noise at all times even when there is no signal present. Press the CB-SQL lever up

(increase Squelch level) Press the CB-SQL lever down

(decrease Squelch level) Press the CB-SQL switch lever UP or DOWN to change the squelch level. To rapidly increase or decrease the squelch level, press and hold the CB-SQL switch UP or DOWN. The current squelch level is indicated on the display as CB-SQUELCH-LEVEL 20. SQUELCH LEVEL range: from 01 (min) to 20 (max) 16 OTHER FUNCTIONS This CB radio unit is connected to the audio unit and automatically m u te s t h e s o u n d f ro m t h e a u d i o u n i t w h e n a s i g n a l i s re c e i ve d . If you set the squelch level to a high setting, only strong signals will be received and those signals will cause the RX icon to appear on the display and simultaneously mute the audio system sound. If you set a low squelch level, the CB radio will receive unwanted weak or noise signals. The RX icon will then appear and the sound from the audio will be constantly muted making it difficult to hear. Slightly raise the squelch level if the audio functions are being muted repeatedly by noise. 17 OTHER FUNCTIONS ON/OFF of Roger Beep Function Roger beep With long distance transmissions, the noise is often so loud that it is difficult to hear what the other party is saying and impossible to know when he/she has stopped talking. ROGER BEEP is a beep sound that is automatically output when the TALK switch is released and makes it easier for the other party to know that you have stopped talking. Airbag model:
