Description

Your Uniden PC68 Elite represents the highest quality communications device
designed for use in the Citizens Band Radio Service. It will operate on any of the 40
AM frequencies authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The Citizens Band Radio Service is under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Any adjustments or
alterations which would alter the performance of the transceiver's
original FCC certification, or which would change the frequency
determining method, are strictly prohibited. Replacement or
substitution of crystal, transistors, ICs, regulator diodes, or any
other part of a unique nature, with parts other than those
recommend by Uniden, may cause violations of the technical
regulations in Part 95 of the FCC Rules or in violation of
certification requirements in Part 2 of the rules.

Elimination of Licensing

The FCC has ruled that CB Radio Service operators are no longer required to
obtain an FCC License to operate their CB equipment. In doing so, the FCC
also decided to permit CB station operation without station identification.
Elimination of individual station licenses does not reduce the operating
privileges or responsibilities of CB users. An operator of a CB radio station is
still required to comply with the Communications Act and with the rules of
Citizens Band Radio Service.
Uniden is a registered trademark of Uniden America Corporation.
Features, Specifications, and availability of Optional
Accessories are subject to change without notice.

Emergency Operation

1. Set the switch to CH9 or turn Channel Selector knob to Channel 9.
2. Press the microphone PTT switch and speak clearly.
3. If there is no response, select an active channel and ask that party to
relay your emergency broadcast on Channel 9.
All channels, except Channel 9 may be used for normal
communication. Channel 9 is reserved by the FCC for emergency
communication involving the immediate safety of individuals or
protection of property. Channel 9 may also be used to render
assistance to a motorist.
This is an FCC rule and applies to all operators of CB radios.
