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).
Press the «push-to-talk» switch (8) 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 es-
tablished communication with someone, it is common
practice to choose another available channel so as not
to block the calling channel.
