2. A properly filled out and signed identification card, FCC Form 452-C
which is also furnished with SSB-500 , must be affixed to ail units.
3. Part 95 of the FCC Rules and Régulations, which is furnished with your
SS B -500, must be read and understood.
Transmitting with this unit on any of the 40 CB channels requires no
unusual procedures except that you must first select one of three modes of
operation possible, AM, USB or LSB.
If you are attempting to communicate with a station having a similar trans­
ceiver to yours, SSB-500, you can make initial contact on AM and then
arrange to conduct subséquent communications in one of the sideband
modes, either USB or LSB. Of course, if the other station is only capable of
AM réception, you will also hâve to transmit in the AM mode.
After you hâve selected the desired mode of operation by means of the
LSB-USB-AM selector switch, simply press the Push-to-Talk Switch on the
Microphone to transmit.
Hold the Microphone 3 to 4 inches from your mouth and slightly to one
side so that the voice does not project directly into the Microphone (this
provides best results). Speak at a normal level — there is no need to raise
your voice or shout into the Microphone.
During periods of transmission, the receiver is silenced and réception is
therefore impossible. In the same way, your signal cannot be heard by
another station when he is transmitting — each must take turns. To receive
again, simply release the Microphone Push-to-Talk Button.
