FEATURES

Your RadioShack TRC-401 Emer- gency CB Radio is a 40-channel citi- zen’s band radio that is specially designed for emergency situations. It contains a CB, an antenna, and a power cord — all in a handy, impact- resistant carrying case that lets you store all of the equipment safely out of the way and easily move it from one vehicle to another.

Its features include:

Automatic Emergency Channel 9 Selection — immediately switches to Channel 9 (the universal emergen- cy channel) each time the CB is turned on.

Important: REACT is a nationwide 24-hour network that monitors Chan- nel 9. Switch to Channel 9 in an emergency, and report the problem. (REACT might not be available in all areas.)

Channel 19 Switch — immediately switches the CB to Channel 19, used by most travelers.

PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Fre- quency Synthesizer — provides re- liable and exact tuning.

Auto Squelch — eliminates the need to set the squelch level.

Digital Channel-Number Display

makes it easy to see which chan- nel is selected.

Built-In Ceramic Filters — provide superior selectivity and prevent adja- cent-channel interference.

Built-In Modulation Control — pre- vents the transmitter signal from over-modulating and distorting.

Built-In Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) — reduces noise caused by nearby electrical equipment, such as motors or automotive ignition sys- tems.

Impact-Resistant Storage Case — stores everything you need to power the CB from your vehicle.

Note: The TRC-401 comes with a telescoping antenna on a magnet- mount base that you can attach di- rectly to the CB for use when your ve- hicle is not moving. If you plan to use the CB when your vehicle is moving, we recommend that you purchase a standard mount antenna.

We recommend you record the TRC- 401’s serial number here. The num- ber is on the CB’s back panel.
