Therefore you should test the various muting settings for various
signal strengths and get to know this function.

AM / FM mode switch

In your radio you can transmit only in FM mode, but it is as well possible to listen to
AM modulated stations on all 40 channels. For listening AM, simply press the AM/FM
button – the light "FM" will be off.
If You should try to transmit in AM, the LED will warn You by error message Er,
because CEPT radios are not allowed to transmit in AM mode.
Transmission in AM is technically deactivated. A green control LED is on during FM
mode.

Special interest channels

There are a few channels which have been established for certain purposes:
Channel 1
Channel 9
To call other stations, who you know are listening in on channel 9, you can also use
this channel. Call up the desired station on channel 9. As soon as contact has been
made, agree on a free channel for your conversation and then channel 9 will be free
again for other calls.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are
listening in. Therefore listen in to this channel as often as possible!
Channel 16
Channel 19
Channel 24/25 Data transfer (Packet Radio, Germany only)
Channel 40
Some recommendations have been worked out by the CB clubs. For more
