REPLACING THE FUSES

The TRC-488’s red wire 2-amp in-line fuse helps protect your CB from power surges and short-circuits. If the fuse has blown, replace it with a 2-amp, fast-acting glass fuse (such as Cat. No. 270-1007).

The orange wire’s 1-amp in-line fuse helps protect your CB’s memory chan- nel backup from power surges and short-circuits. If the fuse has blown, re- place it with a 1-amp, fast-acting glass fuse (such as Cat. No. 270-1005).

Follow these steps to replace either fuse.

1.Make sure the power source and CB are both off.

2.Hold the fuse holder by both ends, push the fuse holder ends together, then turn counterclock- wise and release either end. The fuse holder opens.

3.Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating.

FCC INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Com- mission (FCC) does not require you to have a license to operate this CB. However, the FCC does require you to read and know Part 95 of FCC Rules. These rules apply to the operation of a class D CB. A copy of these regula- tions is included with your CB.

Warning: Do not open your CB to make any internal adjustments. Inter- nal adjustments and/or modifications can lead to illegal operation as defined by Part 95 of FCC Rules. Such illegal operation can lead to very serious con- sequences.

To be safe and sure:

Never open your CB’s case.

Never modify your CB.

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 the interference. Try to eliminate the interference by:

Moving your CB away from the receiver.

Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, the FCC requires that you stop using your CB.
