WARNINGS
Please read the following precautions to prevent re, personal injury or the radio destruction.
Do not attempt to adjust the radio while driving; is dangerous.
This radio is designed for power supply at 12V DC. Do not use a 24V battery to power the radio.
Do not place the station on an excessively dusty, damp or unstable surface.
Do not connect the antenna during transmission, risk of burning or electric shock.
Please keep distance from devices that cause interference (such as TV, generator, etc.)
People who use pacemakers are advised to keep distance from the antenna during transmission
and especially not to touch it.
Do not connect metal objects to the internal electrical side; danger of electric shock.
Avoid exposing the radio to temperatures below -26°C and above +80°C, the temperature on a
vehicle may sometimes exceed 80°C, which can cause irreparable damage to electric devices. Do not
expose the radio to sunlight.
Do not place anything on the radio, it will prevent it from cooling down.
Check to see if you have enough charged battery to avoid rapid discharge.
It is important to stop the radio before starting the engine, to avoid damage caused by high starting
voltage.
You must use a 2A 250V fuse type F. Under no circumstances use a higher value.
If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected as coming from the radio, switch o the appliance
immediately.
Do not transmit for a long time, the radio may warm up.
Keep the station away from children.

RF RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT
● This radio is designed for and classied as “General population/uncontrolled Use”
● DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may
also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by the manufacturer or an antenna specically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
● DO NOT transmit for more than 75% of total radio use time, more than 75% of the time can cause RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
● This transmitter may operate with the antenna(s) documented in this ling in Push-to-Talk and
body-worn congurations. RF exposure compliance is limited to the specic belt-clip and accessory
congurations as documented in this ling and the separation distance between user and the device or
its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.
● The highest reported SAR values for body-worn, In Front of Mouth, Extremity are 0.14 W/Kg, 0.01 W/
Kg, 0.19 W/Kg.
● Cette radio est conçue pour et classée comme “Population générale/utilisation non contrôlée”
● Ne pas utiliser la radio sans une antenne appropriée attachée, car cela pourrait endommager la radio
et pourrait également vous faire dépasser les limites d’exposition RF. Une antenne appropriée est celle
fournie par le fabricant avec cette radio ou une antenne spéciquement autorisée par le fabricant pour
être utilisée avec cette radio.
● Ne transmettez pas plus de 75 % du temps total d’utilisation de la radio, car cela pourrait entraîner une
dépassée des exigences de conformité en matière d’exposition aux ondes radiofréquences.
● Cet émetteur peut fonctionner avec les antennes documentées dans ce dossier en conguration Push-
to-Talk et portée sur le corps. La conformité à l’exposition RF est limitée aux congurations spéciques
de clip de ceinture et d’accessoires documentées dans ce dossier, et la distance entre l’utilisateur et
l’appareil ou son antenne doit être d’au moins 2,5 cm.
● Les valeurs SAR les plus élevées signalées pour les dispositifs portés sur le corps, placés devant la
bouche et aux extrémités sont respectivement de 0,14 W/kg, 0,01 W/kg et 0,19 W/kg.
INTRODUCTION
The PNI HP-62 is a small portable transceiver which guarantees great performance for many years of
use. What is unique to this innovative transceiver is the capability to select any of European CB bands
with an easy and quick procedure. The PNI HP-62 has built-in Channel Phase Loop synthesizer (PLL)
circuit and an automatic battery economy circuit.
Important Note!
Some countries may require you to own or purchase a CB license – please check with the
relative authorities in your country.

FUNCTION AND LOCATION OF THE CONTROLS
1. Antenna connection: x a compatible antenna (not included in the package). To get better
performance, you can use an external antenna that plugs into the included adapter.
2. Squelch Control: This function allows to reduce background noise of the station. By rotating the
button to the right, the function becomes active. By rotating the button to the left, the function becomes
inactive. The button should be set precisely to the position where the background noise disappears.
3. ASQ key: briey press this key to turn on the backlight of the screen. When the screen light is on,
press again to turn o the backlight. By long pressing this key, enter the ASQ mode. While you are in
ASQ mode, briey press this key to enter the ASQ level adjustment mode, the current level of Squelch
will blink. Use the Q.UP/Q DOWN keys to change the ASQ level (there are 5 levels available). Also in
ASQ mode, briey press the ASQ key twice to turn o or turn on the backlight of the screen.
4. ON/OFF and Volume Control key:
Rotate this knob to the right to turn on the radio. Turn slightly to the right to adjust the volume.

time.Thanks to this function, you can monitor a second channel. When a signal on the second channel
is received, the conversation on the rst channel is automatically interrupted and the receiver switches
on the second channel. The monitoring starts again 4 seconds after the signal end.
TO activate this function, operate as follows:
- Select the desired channel through the channel selector
- Press the DW button
- Select the second channel
- Press the button DW again
- To cancel the function press again the DW button or the PTT button
17. SCAN key: you can automatically search for a busy channel
• Turn the squelch clockwise until the background noise is no longer heard.
• Press the “SCAN” button: the transceiver will scan automatically all the channels until a carrier is
being received.
• When it nds the carrier, it stops and starts again some seconds after the end of the communication
on the channel.
• When the radio is transmitting, the scan function is deactivated.
18. Key : when in the SQ mode short press this button, turn on the background ligh, short press this
button again, to turn o the ligh, long press this button will enter ASQ, in ASQ mode, short press the
button to turn on the background ligh and short press again will turn o the light.
