3) YOUR CB WILL NOT LIGHT UP
- Check the power supply.
- Check the connection wiring.
- Check the fuse.
E) HOW TO TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE A MESSAGE
Now that you have read the manual, make sure that your CB Radio is ready for use
(i.e. check that your antenna is connected).
Choose your channel (19, 27).
Choose your mode (AM/FM) which must be the same as that of your correspondent.
Press the «push-to-talk» switch and announce your message «Attention stations,
transmission testing» which will allow you to check the clearness and the power of
your signal. Release the switch and wait for a reply. You should receive a reply like,
«Strong and clear».
If you use a calling channel (19, 27) and you have established communication with
someone, it is common practice to choose another available channel so as not to
block the calling channel.
