Cb Components - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

The CB Radio can assist in the following:
1. Warn of traffic tie-ups ahead.
2. Provide weather and road information.
3. Provide help fast in event of emergency breakdown.
4. Suggest good spots to eat and sleep.
5. Make long trips more interesting and fight driver's fatigue.
6. Provide direct contact with office or home.
7. Make friends during travel.
8. Provide "local information" to find your destination.
9. Communicate with friends and family during outdoor activities.
10. Help law enforcement officers by reporting drunk and reckless drivers.
Volume Control:
The radio has an off/on volume control switch. It must be turned on and the
volume adjusted to a comfortable range. The volume control deals strictly with
the volume level in receiving (what is audible) and has no effect on the trans-
mission level (how loud it will transmit over the airways).
Squelch:
Squelch control is also available. This control is first turned up to a point
where static or background noise is heard and then reduced to a point where
the static disappears.
Channel Selection:
There is also a channel selector which is used to select the channel of
operation (1 through 40). For most highway uses, channel 19 is used. This
channel is used by most truck drivers. It is useful to monitor channel 19 to
obtain information concerning traffic delays, construction, lane closures, etc.
When traveling with other CB users, it is wise to use a channel other than 19
to allow for conversations to be made without interruptions.
CB Microphone Function:
The microphone is the key to using the CB radio. A push button switch is
located on the side the microphone. When the button is pressed, the CB radio
switches from a listening device to a transmitter. Anything spoken into the
microphone is transmitted over the airway of the channel selected. To carry on
a conversation, after each outgoing transmission, release the push button
switch in order for a reply to be received. The radio cannot receive and transmit
at the same time. Conversations should be brief as only a single CB radio can
occupy the particular channel at one time.
