If the CB picks up partial or very
weak transmissions, continue to
turn
SQUELCH
clockwise to
decrease the CB's sensitivity to
these signals. Turn

Selecting either Channel 9 or 19
overrides the manual channel
selection control.
•
All channels, with the exception
of Channels 9 and 19, are
available for general
communications. Channels 9
and 19 are reserved for motorist
assistance and for reporting
emergency situations,
hazardous road conditions, and
the like. To quickly tune to
Channel 9 or 19, set
CH9/NOR/CH19
to
CH9
or
CH19
.
•
Do not speak too loudly when
transmitting. It does not make
your signal any stronger, and
might distort your transmission.
•
If you want to monitor Channel 9
during CB operation, set
DUAL/OFF
to
DUAL
.
•
If you hear a low-level popping-
type noise, set
NB/OFF/MON
to
NB
to turn on the noise blanking
circuit. This helps minimize
background noise.
2. Hold down
PTT
and speak into
the microphone.
While transmitting, your
transmission strength is
shown on the signal meter.
