FCC INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) does not require you to have
a license to operate this CB radio. How-
ever, you must know Part 95 of
FCC
Rules
. These rules apply to the opera-
tion of a Class D CB. We have provided
a copy of these regulations with your CB
radio.
Warning: Do not open your CB radio to
make any internal adjustments. A CB ra-
dio is set up to transmit a regulated sig-
nal on an assigned frequency. It is
against the law to alter or adjust the set-
tings inside the unit to exceed these lim-
itations.
To be safe and sure:
• never open your CB radio’s cases.
• never change or replace anything in
your CB radio.
Your CB radio might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your CB
radio is causing the interference, turn off
your CB radio. If the interference goes
away, your CB is causing it. Try to elimi-
nate the interference by:
• moving your CB radio away from the
TV or radio
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your CB radio.
This device complies with Part 95 of
FCC Rules
. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: 1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and
2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
