Operating Procedure for Emergency Communications:
1. For emergency communications, set the CB radio to Ch. 9. For
non-emergency communications, select the desired channel by
pressing the Channel up/down-tuning buttons until reaching the
channel desired.
2. When asking for emergency aid on Channel 9, request a React
base (if available) to respond by saying "Break Channel 9 for a
React base" and provide the CB Distress Data (called "CLIP"):
CLIP
CALL SIGN - Identify yourself and vehicle.
LOCATION - Be exact.
INJURIES - Number. Type. Are persons trapped?
PROBLEM - Give details and be specific about the assistance needed.
Transmit the "CLIP" repeatedly so the nearest monitor may be of assistance.
NOTE: Channel 9 is for emergency use only.

1. Do not carry on a conversation with another station for more than
five minutes at a time without taking a one-minute break to give
others a chance to use the channel.

3. Do not use the CB to promote illegal activities.
4. No profanity allowed.
