REPLACING THE FUSE

The TRC-519’s 2-amp in-line fuse helps protect your CB from power surges and short circuits. When replacement is re- quired, use a 2-amp, fast-acting glass fuse, available at your local RadioShack store.

Follow these steps to replace the fuse.

1.Make sure the vehicle and CB are both off.

2.Hold the fuse holder at both ends, push the ends together, twist one end counterclockwise, and pull them apart.

3.Remove the old fuse and inspect its condition. If it is blown, insert a new one of the same type and rating. If it is not blown, reinsert it.

Caution: Do not use a fuse with rat- ings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your TRC- 519.

4.Push the fuse holder ends together and twist one end clockwise.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your CB might cause TV or radio inter- ference even when it is operating prop- erly. To determine whether your CB is causing the interference, turn off your CB. If the interference goes away, your CB is causing it. Try to eliminate the in- terference by:

moving your CB away from the re- ceiver

contacting your local RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your CB radio.

Any adjustments to a CB must be made by a qualified technician using the prop- er test equipment.

To be safe and sure:

Never open your CB radio’s case.

Never change or replace anything in your CB radio.
