Using a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied small screws and small metal washers, attach the supplied microphone holder horizontally or vertically to either side of the CB.

CONNECTING THE MICROPHONE

1.Insert the microphone’s plug into the microphone jack until it clicks.

Caution: Never pull on the micro- phone cable.

MOUNTING THE

TRC-499

The most common mounting location for this CB is under a vehicle’s dash- board. However, if you use the TRC- 499 as a base station, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table (see “Us- ing the CB as a Base Station”).

If you are mounting the CB in a vehi- cle, choose a location where:

•You can easily reach the CB.

•Wires and cables will not inter- fere with the vehicle’s pedals or other moving parts.

•The CB is not directly in front of heating vents.

•All wires and cables will reach their connection points.

Cautions:

Caution: The microphone’s plug fits only one way into the micro- phone jack. Do not force it.

2.Slide the microphone onto the microphone holder.

To disconnect the microphone cable, squeeze the bottom of the micro- phone’s plug, then gently pull it out.

•The TRC-499 is designed to work in a vehicle that has a 12- volt DC, negative-ground electri- cal system. Most vehicles have this type of system. If you are not sure about your vehicle, check with your vehicle dealer.
