INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of Citizens Band radio communications. Your
Uniden radio is an advanced mobile radio designed for use in the
Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service. It will operate on any of the 40 AM
frequencies authorized by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Your Radio features a superheterodyne circuit with PHASE
LOCKED LOOP techniques to assure precise frequency control.
Safety Notice
The antenna used for this radio must be properly installed and
maintained and must provide a separation distance of at least 16.92
inches (43 cm) from all persons and must not be collocated or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Never transmit if
any person is closer than the specified distance to the antenna.
Note that Uniden does not specify or supply any antenna with
this transceiver. While a 0 dBi gain antenna is normal for a typical
installation, the above limit applies to any antenna with up to 3 dBi gain.
CB license requirement
U.S. users no longer need to apply for a license to use a CB radio.
However, CB radio is still considered a "license by rule" service. This
means that, while the FCC permits CB station operation without station
identification, station operators are still required to comply with the
Communications Act and with the rules of CB Radio Service. (For more
information on U.S. radio rules, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.)
