Check the fuse.
How to transmit or receive a message:
Now that you have read the manual, make sure that your CB radio
set is ready for use (i.e. check that your antenna is connected).
Choose your channel (19, 27).
Choose your mode (AM/FM) which must be the same as that of
your contact partner.
Press the "push-to-talk" button and announce your message
"Attention stations, transmission testing" which will allow you to
check the clearness and the power of your signal. Release the
switch and wait for a reply. You should receive a reply like, "Strong
and clear".
If you use a calling channel (19, 27) and you have established
communication with someone, it is common practice to choose
another available channel so as not to block the calling channel.
