The TRC-499’s 2-amp fuse helps protect your CB from power surges and short circuits. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 2-amp, fast-acting glass fuse (Cat. No. 270-1007).

Follow these steps to replace the fuse.

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

2.To open the fuse holder, push the fuse holder ends together, then turn either end counter- clockwise and release it.

3.If the fuse is blown, replace it.

Caution: Make sure you replace the fuse only with another fuse of the same type and rating.

4.To close the fuse holder, push the fuse holder ends together, then turn either end clockwise.
