FCC requirements
for CB users.
Your new Midland Mobile CB is a

You are also required to complété
FCC Form 505 (also included with
your CB) and submit it to the FCC,
Gettysburg, PA 17326 in order to

(Disregard the above paragraph if

than 5 years old.)
FCC régulations will be violated if
you transmit with this unit without
complying with procedures explained
on FCC temporary license, Form 555-
B, which is included as well.
You may use Form 555-B as a
temporary permit while your regulär
Form 505 application is being

The technical information,
diagrams and charts provided in this
manuał are supplied for the use of a
qualified holder of a first or second

If you install your own transceiver,

General CB
information.
In 1958, The Federal
Communications Commission
approved the use of 23 Channels by
duly licensed Citizens Band radio
operators. The authorization was
expanded to 40 channels in 1977.
A simple, basie means of
communication, CB requires no more
ski11 or knowledge than the operation
of a Standard AM or FM receiver.
Still, there are certain tacts,
procedures and “rules of the road”
you’ll need to know in order to make
the naost of your CB expérience.
Make it “short and sweet.” When
using your CB, get on and off the air
as quickly as possible. Never use
profanity — which is against the law
and subject to heavy penalties. Follow
the FCC rules outlined in Part 95.
Use Channel 9 in emergencies
only. Emergency channel 9 is
designated for this purpose and this
purpose alone.
The FCC has given public safety
agencies various “call signs” including
“0911“ numbers, coinciding with the
“911” phone numbers these agencies
use in téléphoné communications.
The call signs for state-level
agencies use 3 letters and 4 numbers,
with the second and third letters being
the official Post Office state
abbreviation, e.g., “ KS” for “Kansas.”
Why and how to use the “10
Code.” Developed over the years by
official agencies in order to save time
and provide précisé, elear messages,
the “ 10-Code” has become a popular
tool for CBers.
