OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once you have properly installed the batteries
and the antenna is attached, you are ready to
adjust your radio for optimum reception and
voice transmission.
1) Turn the power off/on-volume control clock-
wise. Adjust to a comfortable volume level.
2) Set to the desired CB channel.
3) Adjust the squelch control knob to reduce any
undesirable background noise when no signal
is being received. To do this, select a channel
where no signals are present, or wait until
signals cease on your channel. Then, rotate
the squelch control knob clockwise to a point
where the background noise ceases.
NOTE: When the squelch is set properly, the
speaker will remain quiet until a signal is received.
In order to receive weak signals, do not set the
squelch too high.
4) Adjust the volume to the desired listening level.
To Transmit: Hold the radio 2-3 inches from your
mouth, press the push-to-talk button (P-T-T) located
on the side of the radio and speak into the micro-
phone area. For best results speak slowly and in a
normal tone of voice. When transmitting, the TX
LED will glow.
To Receive: Release the push-to-talk button.
NOTE: When using the HCB-10C as a beltworn
radio (with a headset or speaker/microphone), the
user will experience a slightly shorter transmit and
receive range.
