OPERATION

Before you use your CB, you should

know how to use it effectively and cour-

teously. “Common Uses for a CB” on

Page 12 contains information that will

help you get more enjoyment from your

CB.

Caution:

Do not attempt to use your CB

without first connecting it to an antenna.

unwanted, weak transmissions, turn

CB’s sensitivity to these signals.
