WX/Alert Indicator — shows the CB is
ready to receive a weather alert signal.

RX/TX Indicator — shows whether the
CB is transmitting or receiving. 

S/RF/SWR/CAL Switch — lets you
quickly select the display for the RF/sig-
nal meter (radio input/output signal pow-
er strength, standing wave ratio of the
antenna, or SWR calibration).

Universal Mounting Bracket — lets
you mount your CB securely in your ve-
hicle or on a desk or table in your home.

Note: To use this CB, you need a mobile
or base station antenna. Your local Ra-
dioShack store has a wide variety of an-
tennas. For more information, see
“Installing an Antenna” on Page 6.

We recommend you record your CB’s
serial number here. The number is on
the CB’s back panel.

FCC INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) does not require you to have
a license to operate this CB. However,
the FCC does require that you read and
know Part 95 of 

FCC Rules

. These rules

apply to the operation of a Class D CB.
We have provided a copy of these regu-
lations with your CB.

Warning: Do not open your CB to make
any internal adjustments. Any internal
adjustments can be made only by an au-
thorized service technician.

Internal adjustments and/or modifica-
tions can lead to illegal operation as de-
fined by Part 95 of 

FCC Rules

. Such

illegal operation can lead to very serious
consequences.

To be safe and sure:

• Never open your CB’s case.

• Never modify your CB.

Your CB might cause TV or radio inter-
ference even when it is operating prop-
erly. To determine whether your CB is
causing the interference, turn off your
CB. If the interference goes away, your
CB is causing it. Try to eliminate the in-
terference by:

• Moving your CB away from the

receiver

• Contacting your local RadioShack

store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your CB.
