In an emergency, broadcast
your “CLIP”:
Call sign — identify yourself
Location — be exact
Injuries — number of injured,
type of injuries, and so on
Problem — give complete
details. Give information calmly,
clearly, and in as few words as
possible
6. When you finish transmitting,
release
PUSH TO TALK
. You can
now receive transmissions.
Adjust
VOLUME
to the desired
listening level.
7. To turn off the CB, turn
VOLUME
counterclockwise (toward the
top of the CB) until you hear it
click and
OFF
appears in the
VOLUME window.
Note:
VOLUME
and
RANGE
only af-
fect reception. They have no effect
on transmissions.
SETTING RANGE
Because this is primarily an emer-
gency CB, we suggest you leave
RANGE
set to 10 when you store the
CB. This ensures the maximum re-
ception range in an emergency.
If you want to eliminate background
noise when you are not receiving a
strong signal from another CB, wait
until you are not receiving a call and
turn
RANGE
clockwise until the back-
ground noise stops.
