Step Seven
•
To prevent damage to your CB, do not
attempt to transmit without an antenna
attached.
•
Only rotate
SQUELCH
until the hissing
stops. If you continue to rotate it clockwise,
you will be unable to receive any signals.
•
Always give emergency communications
priority on Channels 9 and 19. Channels 9
and 19 are reserved for motorist assistance
and for reporting emergency situations,
hazardous road conditions, and so forth.
•
The radio sounds a weather alert regardless
of the channel setting.
•
The CB will not sound a weather alert while
you are transmitting.
•
If you are in a rural or fringe area, your radio
might be triggered by an alert broadcast in
one area, but not be triggered if you travel to
another area (even close by).
