User's Manual

NOT CONNECTED TO 110 VAC, THE UNIT WILL CONTINUE ATTEMPTING TO DRAW A

SMALL AMOUNT OF CURRENT OFF THE INTERNAL BATTERY, EVEN THOUGH THE

RECEIVER WILL BE NONOPERATIONAL. THIS MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE

INTERNAL BATTERY AND WILL VOID THE UNIT'S WARRANTY.

The internal battery should also be "cycled" at a minimum of once every month. Cycle the battery

by allowing the Citation to operate until the BATTERY LED BAR GRAPH begins to turn RED,

indicating that the battery is low. Then charge the battery for a minimum of 10 hours. By cycling

the battery, you will insure proper operation and increase the battery life.

NOTE: DO NOT CHARGE THE INTERNAL BATTERIES IN THE CITATION 20 FOR

MORE THAN 24 HOURS DURING EACH CHARGE CYCLE. CHARGING FOR LONGER

THAN 24 HOURS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL BATTERY.

THE LAMP AND LCD BUTTONS

The LCD button controls the internal light on the LCD display. This switch toggles the internal

light ON or OFF.

The LAMP bottom controls the illumination of all the other LED's on the panel. This switch

toggles all the panel LEDs (including the Bar Graphs) ON or OFF. The only exception to this is

the LED inside the POWER switch. The LAMP switch toggles this LED between VERY BRIGHT

and VERY DIM.

OPERATING NOTES:

1.) Keep the Citation dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain

minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits and cause extensive damage.

2.) Handle the Citation with care. Dropping the unit may damage circuit boards, the recorder, and

the case, rendering the unit inoperable.

3.) It is advisable under extended storage conditions that the Citation's internal battery be allowed

to fully discharge down to the low battery indication and then be immediately fully recharged

before the Citation is stored again. This procedure should be carried out once every month.

Following this system will allow the battery to completely cycle, thus lengthening battery life.

The life of the battery may shorten if the Citation is stored for an extended period of time without

use. Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours per charge cycle.

4.) Be sure to install the mag-mount antenna base on a metal object when in use. This will allow

for proper operation of the antenna system, giving the operator the best possible performance from

the receiver.

5.) There are no user-serviceable parts in the Citation. If for some reason the unit needs service,

please return it to the factory.

6.) In cassette recording, the type and brands of cassettes you use have a great influence on the

quality of your recordings. Therefore, it is advantageous to purchase the highest quality cassettes

available. Chromium dioxide (CrO2) and metal tapes generally provide better fidelity than normal

ferric oxide tapes.
