CB COURTESY
•Wait for a pause in someone else’s transmission before you ask for a break.
•If you do not receive an answer to your call after a second attempt, sign off and wait several minutes before trying again.
•Do not press and hold PUSH TO TALK when you are not talking. (This is called dead keying.)
•Assist callers with directions, infor- mation about road conditions, and any other reasonable requests.
MAXIMUM RANGE
The maximum range and quality of CB transmissions vary depending on these conditions:
•Amount of power in the batteries
•The surrounding terrain — moun- tains and tall buildings limit the range
•Weather conditions
•The number of nearby CBs operating on the same channel
To ensure maximum range, always keep fresh alkaline batteries or fully charged
