I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

HowYourCompactor Works
The compacting ram does not go to the drawer bottom. You will not see compacting of the first few loadings.
Compaction starts after the drawer is about % full. You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break at all.
The trash in a full compactor bag will be about �/4 the size of its original bulk.
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch senses a �mislead� and causes the ram to return to the �up� position without compacting. Load bulky trash, bottles and cans in the center of the drawer.
