OPERATION
Before you use your CB, you should know how to use it effectively and cour- teously. “Common Uses for a CB” on Page 12 contains information that will help you get more enjoyment from your CB.
Caution: Do not attempt to use your CB without first connecting it to an antenna.
RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS AND SETTING SQUELCH
1.Rotate VOLUME fully counterclock- wise
2.Set CB/WX to CB.
3.Turn SQUELCH fully counterclock- wise.
4. Turn RF GAIN fully clockwise.
5.Turn on the CB by turning OFF/VOL- UME clockwise. The display lights and the channel appears.
Note: The CB sounds an alert if it detects a weather alert signal (see “Using Weather Alert/SAME” on Page 11).
6.Rotate VOLUME clockwise until you hear a hissing sound.
7.Slowly turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing sound stops.
Note: To receive very weak signals, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise. You hear noise between transmis- sions, but you can also hear weak transmissions (those not strong enough to break through a higher squelch setting). If the CB picks up unwanted, weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to reduce the CB’s sensitivity to these signals.
