FCC INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commis-
sion (FCC) does not require you to have
a license to operate this CB. However,
the FCC does require that you read and
know Part 95 of
FCC Rules
. These rules
apply to the operation of a Class D CB.
We have provided a copy of these regu-
lations with your CB.
Warning:
Do not open your CB to make
any internal adjustments. Any internal
adjustments can be made only by an au-
thorized service technician.
Unauthorized internal adjustments and/
or modifications can lead to illegal oper-
ation as defined by Part 95 of FCC
Rules. Such illegal operation can lead to
very serious consequences. To be safe
and sure:
Never open your CB's case.
Never modify your CB.
Your CB might cause TV or radio inter-
ference even when it is operating prop-
erly. To determine whether your CB is
causing the interference, turn off your
CB. If the interference goes away, your
CB is causing it. Try to eliminate the in-
terference by either moving your CB
away from the receiver or contacting
your local RadioShack store for help. If
you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your CB.
