UNIDEN Model PRO630XL
Introduction
Preventive Maintenance:
The following system checks should be made every six to twelve months:
•
•
•
•
Check the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Inspect the tightness of all electrical connections.
Inspect the antenna coaxial cable for wear or breaks on the shielding.
Inspect the tightness of all screws and other mounting hardware.
Troubleshooting:
Should the unit malfunction or perform poorly, follow these procedures:
If the transceiver is completely inoperative: Check the power cord and fuse.
If there is trouble with receiving: Check the VOLUME control setting. Be sure the SQUELCH is
adjusted properly. Possibly the radio is over-squelched.
If there is trouble with transmitting: Check that the transmission line (coaxial cable) is securely
connected to the ANTENNA connector. Check that the antenna is fully extended for proper
operation. Check that all transmission line (coaxial cable) connections are secure and free of
corrosion.
Blackening may occur on the Liquid Crystal Display if the AM CB Radio has been
subjected to extreme high temperature (above 60°C). This is not a fault. Normal
LCD operation resumes when the temperature stabilizes back to standard operating
condition (0-55°C).

UNIDEN Model PRO630XL
DIN-E Installation
Mounting Using the DIN-E Sleeve
If you are unsure about how to install your PRO630XL in your vehicle using the DIN-E sleeve,
consult your automobile manufacturer, dealer, or a qualified installer. Before installing, confirm
that your PRO630XL fits in the desired mounting area and you have all the necessary materials
to complete the task. Your PRO630XL requires a 53 x 183 x 135 mm mounting area. Allow an
additional 60 mm space behind the unit for connectors and wires.
1. Remove the bracket if previously attached.
2. Install the DIN-E sleeve into the opening in your dashboard, lip facing out.
3. Push out the top and bottom tabs to hold the sleeve firmly in place.
4. Remove the flat rubber ring fitted around the cabinet sides near the front of the PRO630XL.
Fit the supplied DIN-E rubber ring in it’s place. When fitted the rubber ring will act as a
seal against the DIN-E sleeve. At the left and right sides of the ring there will be a slot space.
The slots in the fitted DIN-E Rubber Ring will enable proper removal of radio from the
DIN-E sleeve.
5. Before inserting the PRO630XL in the sleeve, attach the cable from the previously mounted
antenna. Attach the DC Power leads. RED goes to a positive (+) connection on your fuse
block while BLACK connects to the vehicles chassis ground (-). Be sure all the connections
are routed away from any potentially pinching or slicing sheet metal.
6. Slowly slide the PRO630XL into the sleeve until it locks in place.
If you plan to use the Rear MIC Jack or connect an external speaker at a later time,
expect to remove the unit for ease of making those connections.

DIN-E Installation
Removing the PRO630XL from the DIN-E Sleeve
If you plan to use the Rear MIC Jack or connect an external speaker, at a later time, you should
plan to remove the PRO630XL from the DIN-E sleeve. This is easily done using the provided
Removal Keys.
Fully insert both Removal Keys straight into the slots on the left and the right edges of the radio’s
dress panel. You cannot remove the radio if only one key is available.
Press in fully and the radio will unlock from the sleeve making withdrawal from the sleeve
possible. Store the keys in a safe place for future use.

Connecting the Microphone
Front MIC Jack
Rear MIC Jack
Front MIC Jack
Push the MIC plug at the end of the microphone into the MIC Jack until the connection locks
into place. Gently tug the MIC cord to test that the connection is locked. Use the Front MIC Jack
cover which is threaded onto the MIC cord to seal the MIC Jack entry from dust.
Disconnecting the MIC from the Front MIC Jack
Pull away the threaded rubber collar and move it down along the cord. Using the flat blade of a
screwdriver or similar object carefully press the lock tab at the bottom side of the MIC plug and
push it upwards. At the same time tug on the MIC cord to draw back the MIC plug.
Rear MIC Jack
Use the Rear MIC Jack if the main base is mounted where a Front MIC connection is intrusive
or if you wish to use Standard Microphone with the extension cable.
Peel the dust cover from the Rear MIC Jack. Push the MIC plug at the end of the microphone,
or extension cable if using the extension cable into the MIC Jack until the connection locks into
place.
The Front and Rear MIC Jacks can not be used at the same time.

Mounting the MIC Hanger
The MIC Hanger comes in two parts. How and where you mount the MIC Hanger will determine
which parts to use.
Conventional Mounting with Screws
Use the front part of the MIC Hanger only.
Locate a suitable mounting position and mark and drill two 3mm holes.
Fix the MIC Hanger into place with screws.
Conventional Mounting with Double Sided Tape (not supplied)
High quality Double-Sided tape can be found at good retail stores.
Secure the front and back pieces of the MIC Hanger using the supplied binding screws.
Locate a suitable mounting position.
Apply high quality Double-Sided tape onto the flat area of the MIC Hanger back piece and then

Mounting the MIC Hanger
MIC Hanger mounted over MIC Cable
The curly cord of the Standard Microphone can extend up to 1.5m.
For practical installation of the MIC Hanger mounted over MIC Cable use this method
with the Extension Cable.
Standard
Microphone
(1) Rubber Collar
(Dust Cover)
Plan the location of the MIC Hanger to be within 2m of the Radio (IE: the
length of the extension cable.) Connecting more than one extension cable together
may compromise the audio performance of the microphone.
The plug of the extension cable connects to the Radio. The socket end of the extension cable
connects with the microphone plug.
1. The rubber collar (dust cover) on the microphone cable is not required and can be
pushed out of the way along the cable.
2. Drill a 13mm hole at the MIC Hanger location.
3. Thread the microphone plug through the hole and connect with the extension cable.
4. Mount the MIC Hanger over the hole and cable.
5
At the Radio: Remove the Rear MIC Jack label and connect the extension cable plug.
6. Place the Rubber Bushing (Dust Cover) over the unused Front MIC Jack. Push the edges of
the Dust Cover to fit over the Jack opening.

UNIDEN Model PRO630XL
Operation
Australian AM-CB frequencies are shown in the LCD Display examples.
Turning on the Power
Turn the radio ON by rotating the Volume/ON/OFF control clockwise.
Setting the Manual Squelch
Turn the outer ring of the SQ control at the base to adjust the Squelch.
You must select a channel which is not in use before setting the SQUELCH control.
(see p.17 for “Selecting a Channel”).
Think of the squelch
control as a gate. If you
turn Squelch fully
clockwise it raises the
‘Squelch gate’ so high that
no signals get through.
If you turn the Squelch
fully counterclockwise it
lowers the ‘Squelch Gate’
to the extent that all
signals get through -
weak, medium and strong
signals and noise.
To set the ‘Squelch Gate’
to the desired level, turn
the squelch knob
counterclockwise until you
hear noise. Then carefully
turn the Squelch knob
clockwise until the noise
fades. Now only strong
signals get through.

UNIDEN Model PRO630XL
Operation
Open Scan (OS) Mode
Allows continuous scanning of all selected channels.
If an active channel is found, scanning will stop on that
channel. If the received signal ceases, the unit will wait 3
seconds for the signal to return, otherwise scanning resumes.
After transmission in scan mode, the unit will wait 20 seconds for the signal to return, otherwise
scanning resumes.
To skip the active channel, turn the Rotary Channel Selector at the base. To deactivate SCAN,
press [SCAN/OS/GS].
If SCAN is deactivated while on an active channel, the AM CB Radio will stay on
that active channel. If no channels are active, the AM CB Radio will reinstate the
starting channel.
OS Mode is indicated by the absence of the GS icon.
Group Scan (GS) Mode
Includes the accessory feature Priority Watch which allows you to monitor the Instant Priority
Channel while scanning (see p.18 for setting Instant Priority Channel and p.21 to turn on
Priority Watch).
To use GS Mode Scanning, press and hold
[SCAN/OS/GS]. GS icon appears on the
display.
GS Scanning checks the Instant Priority
Channel for activity regularly when Priority
Watch is ON.
If the Instant Priority Channel becomes
active the radio will stay on that channel for
as long as the signal is present. If the received signal ceases, GS Scanning continues after 3
seconds.
If scanning stops on a channel which is not a Instant Priority Channel, AM CB Radio will continue
monitoring the Instant Priority Channel for activity while listening to the active one.
To deactivate SCAN, press the [SCAN/OS/GS] button.
