Operation Manual

CB RADIO
Set CB channel, squelch threshold and volume before
riding to minimize adjustments on the road. Distractions
can lead to loss of control, resulting in death or serious
injury. (00089a)
Operating the CB radio without an antenna or with a broken
antenna cable can result in damage to the transmitter cir-
cuitry. (00176a)
There are no adjustments internal to the CB transceiver
chassis that can be performed without risking non-compli-
ance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules. Refer to the original equipment manufacturer for
any service required during the warranty period. For
transmitter service after the warranty period, refer to a
certified repair service. Any frequency determining com-
ponents, such as crystals, or power determining semi-
conductors, etc., should only be replaced with the original
component manufacturer's part or equivalent. Substitutes
can result in violation of FCC rules. (00175a)
Some models in select regions have a CB module. The CB
radio can be used to communicate with other CB-equipped
motorcycles (or other CB users) on any of the 40 Citizen Band
channels.
Regulations for CB operation, specific frequencies or power
output may be unique for different regions. Check local laws
and regulations before operating the CB radio. In the United
States, read Part 95, FCC Rules and Regulations before
operating your transmitter.
TURNING CB ON
The CB must be turned on before using. After the CB is turned
on and a channel has been selected, you can leave the CB
screen and use other radio features (such as listening to tuner
stations, making phone calls, using navigation features, or
listening to media files). The CB remains muted but continues
operating in the background. The rider and passenger can
transmit or receive CB audio at any time while on any screen.
1. Select Home > Com > CB.
2. See Figure 82. Press the button in the upper left corner
of the CB screen until it displays On. The middle of the
screen shows the current channel and CB On. The CB
icon is displayed in the status bar while the CB remains
on.
