ˆCare and Maintenance

To enjoy your RadioShack 40-Channel Mini- Mobile CB Radio for a long time:

•Keep the CB dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

•Use and store the CB only in normal temperature environments.

•Handle the CB gently and carefully. Do not drop it.

•Keep the CB away from dust and dirt.

•Wipe the CB with a damp cloth occa- sionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the CB’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your CB is not performing as it should, take it to your lo- cal RadioShack store for assistance.

REPLACING THE FUSE

The CB’s 2-A in-line fuse helps protect your CB (and vehicle) from power surges and short circuits. Replace a blown fuse with a 2- A, slow-blow glass fuse, available at your lo- cal RadioShack store.

Caution: Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your CB.

Follow these steps to check and replace the fuse.

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

2.Hold the fuse holder by both ends, push the ends together, twist one end coun- terclockwise, then pull them apart.

3.Remove the old fuse and inspect its condition. If it is not blown, reinsert it. If it is blown, insert a new one of the same type and rating.

4.Push the fuse holder ends together and twist one end clockwise.
