OPERATION
OPERATING PROCEDURE
TO RECEIVE
1. Be sure that the power source, antenna
and microphone are properly
connected.
2. Turn the unit on by rotating the Volume
control clockwise,
3. Set the channel selector switch to the
desired channel,
4. Set the Volume control to a comfort­
able listening level.
5. Listen to the background noise from
the speaker. Turn the Squelch control
clockwise until the noise disappears (no
signal should be present]. Leave the
control at this setting. The squelch is
now properly set. The receiver will re­
main quiet until a signal is actually
received. Do not advance the cohtrol
too far, or some weaker signals will not
be heard.
NOTE: The PRO 31 Oe has a unique power
saving feature that is particularly impor­
tant when operating with the battery
pack. The channel display will auto­
matically turn off if the unit is neither
transmitting nor receiving [Squelched).
Since the channel display uses a sub­
stantial amount of power this feature will
effectively prolong the life of your
batteries.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
TO TRANSMIT
1, Be sure the operator has read and
understands D.O.C, rules and regul­
ations prior to operating the transmit­
ter.
2, Check the HI/LOW switch for proper
setting,
3. Select the desired channel for trans­
mission.
4. If the channel is clear, depress the push-
to-talk switch on the side of the unit
and speak into the microphone with a
normal voice.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Tour portable CB radio has been designed
to transmit at 4 wats output power when
connected to your vehicle battery. When
used with the battery pack, the transmit
power may be lower. The quality of the
batteries used in the battery pack will also
have an affect on the output power. For
best results use the optional NiCad battery
pack - BPS 1OC and B10 NiCad batteries or
good quality alkaline batteries
