Before you start using your CB, you should know how to use it effectively and courteously. “CB Operation Tips” contains information that will help you get more enjoyment from using your CB.

Caution: Do not attempt to use your CB without first connecting an antenna.

TURNING ON THE CB AND RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS

1.Turn SQUELCH fully counterclock- wise.

3.To turn on the CB, turn OFF/VOL- UME clockwise until it clicks and continue turning until you hear a hissing sound. The TX/RX indicator lights, the CB displays the last-tuned channel number, and the SWR/RF/ signal meter lights.

Note: If necessary, set DIM/BRT to DIM to dim the meter and channel display, or to BRT to brighten them.

4.Turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing sound stops.

Note: If the CB picks up unwanted, partial or very weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the CB’s sensitivity to these signals. Turn SQUELCH coun- terclockwise if you want to listen to a weak or distant station.

5.Adjust OFF/VOLUME to a comfort- able listening level.
