1. Select the desired channel.
2. Press PTT and Talk Switch. The receiver and transmitter
are controlled by the press-to-talk switch on the microphone.
Press the switch and the transmitter is activated; release
switch to receive. When transmitting, (on a clear channel),
hold the microphone two inches from the mouth and speak
in a clearly normal voice.
Be sure the antenna is properly connected to the radio
before transmitting. Prolonged transmitting without an an-
tenna, or a poorly matched antenna, could cause damage
to the transmitter.
Maintenance and Adjustable
Your CB transceiver is specically designed for the envi-
ronment encountered in mobile installations. The use of all
solid state circuitry and its light weight result in high reliability.
Should a failure occur, however, review the following, then
if necessary replace parts only with identical parts. Do not
substitute. Refer to the schematic diagram and parts list.
1. Check connections to the source of power and make
sure it is the 13.8 VDC required to operate your radio.
2. Check the fuse in the DC power cord. The main power
lead (red wire) has a 2 Amp 3 AG type fuse installed. Use
only the above specied type and size fuse for maximum
protection. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
3. Make certain the microphone is properly plugged in.
4. Make certain the antenna is properly connected and
tuned for mini-mum SWR.
Important
1. You are not allowed to carry on a conversation with
another station for more than ve minutes at a time without
taking a one-minute break, to give others a chance to use
the channel.
2. You are not allowed to blast others off the air by over-
powering them with illegally amplied transmitter power, or
illegally high antennas.
3. You can’t use CB to promote illegal activities.
4. You are not allowed to use profanity.
5. You may not play music in your CB.
6. You may not use your CB to sell merchandise or pro-
fessional service.
