Operation

Before you use your CB, you should know 
how to use it effectively and courteously. 
“Transmission Courtesy” on Page 10 
contains information that will help you get 
more enjoyment from your CB.

RECEIVING 
TRANSMISSIONS AND 
ADJUSTING SQUELCH

1. Set 

PA/MON/CB

 to 

CB

.

2. Turn 

SQUELCH

 fully counterclockwise.

3. Turn 

RF

 

GAIN

 fully clockwise.

4. Turn on the transceiver by turning 

VOLUME

 clockwise until it clicks. All LCD 

segments appear briefly. Then the 
channel and 

HN

 appear.

5. Rotate the channel selector, or 

repeatedly press (or hold down) 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 on the microphone until the 

desired channel appears.

6. Adjust 

VOLUME

 to a comfortable 

listening level.

7. To cut out background noise between 

transmissions, wait until there is no 
signal, then slowly turn 

SQUELCH

 

clockwise until the background noise 
stops.

Notes:

• To receive very weak signals, turn 

SQUELCH

 counterclockwise. You 

hear noise between transmissions, 
but you also hear weak transmissions 
(those not strong enough to break 
through a higher squelch setting).

• If you experience interference from 

nearby frequencies, turn 

RF GAIN

 

counterclockwise to reduce the 
receiver’s sensitivity.

To turn off the CB, turn 

VOLUME

 to 

OFF

 until 

it clicks.

before you transmit.
