INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the world of Citizens Band radio communications. Your Uniden

The PRO510 radio is an advanced mobile radio designed for use in the
Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service. It will operate on any of the 40 AM
frequencies authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Your Radio features a superheterodyne circuit with PHASE LOCKED LOOP
techniques to assure precise frequency control.

WARNING

This radio has been type accepted and certied by the FCC for CB Radio
Service operation. Any adjustments or alterations which might alter the
performance of the transceiver or the method of determining frequency are
strictly prohibited.

If you replace or substitute any unique parts (including crystals, transistors,
IC’s, regulator diodes, etc.) with parts other than those recommended by
Uniden, you may be in violation of FCC technical regulations (in Part 95) or
type acceptance requirements (in Part 2) of the FCC rules.

CB license requirement

U.S. users no longer need to apply for a license to use a CB radio. However,
CB radio is still considered a “license by rule” service. This means that, while
the FCC permits CB station operation without station identication, station
operators are still required to comply with the Communications Act and with
the rules of CB Radio Service. (For more information on U.S. radio rules, visit

the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.)
