MOUNTING THE TRC-488

If you use the TRC-488 as a base sta- tion, you can mount it on a desk, shelf, or table.

The most common mounting location for the CB is under a vehicle’s dash- board. If you use the TRC-488 in a ve- hicle, mount it securely to avoid damage to the CB or vehicle or injury to anyone in the vehicle during sudden starts or stops.

When you mount the CB in a vehicle, make sure:

•You can easily reach the CB.

•Its wires and cables do not inter- fere with any of the vehicle’s mov- ing parts.

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

•All wires and cables reach their connection points.

Follow these steps to mount the CB using the supplied bracket, screws, washers, and knobs.

1.Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions for the screw holes.

2.In each marked location, drill a hole slightly smaller than the sup- plied screws.

Caution: Be careful not to drill into any objects behind the mounting surface.

3.Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the mounting bracket to the mounting location with the sup- plied screws and lock washers.
