MAINTENANCE

Your TRC-488 40-Channel 2-Way CB Radio is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your CB so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the CB dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the CB gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the CB to work improperly.

Use and store the CB only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the CB away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Wipe the CB with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the CB.

Modifying or tampering with the CB’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your CB’s warranty. If your CB is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
