4. TX LED - An LED lights to indicate
when the radio is transmitting.
5. S/RF Meter - This LED meter shows the

or the RF output.
6. Channel Indicator - Displays the
channel currently in use.
7. Channel Selector - This switch selects
the desired channel for transmission and
reception. All channels, except channel
9, may be used for communications
between stations operating under
different license. Channel 9 has been
reserved by the FCC for emergency
communications involving the
immediate safety of individuals or the
immediate protection of property.
Channel 9 also may be used to
render assistance to a motorist. This
is a FCC rule and applies to all
operators of CB radios.
8. RF Gain - This control is used to adjust
the signal reception in areas where
strong signals are present. Turn the

reception.
9. Squelch - The squelch control is
used to eliminate background noise
during the absence of a transmission.
Turn the control fully counterclockwise,
then slowly rotate it back clockwise until
the noise disappears. At this setting any
transmission must be slightly stronger
than the background noise to “Break
Squelch” or to be heard. Further
clockwise rotation will increase the
threshold at which a signal will be
heard. You can select any level to
“Break Squelch.”
10. Volume Control - Rotate clockwise to
turn the radio on and to increase
the volume.

speaker must be connected to the “PA SP”
jack located on the back of the unit. The
speaker must be directed away from the
mic to prevent feedback.
