40— Channel CB Mobile Transceiver
Features ~__
Your RadioShack TRC-"' 40-Chennel CB Mobile Transceiver is a breakthrough in, CB design technology.
Your CB also has these advanced features:
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) Frequency Synthesizer-prowdes highly accurate and stable tuning.
Two Bull! Ceramic Filters—ensure superior channel selectivity and feedom from adjacent
channel interference.
Automatic Modulation Control-prevents the transmitter signal from overamodulating and distorting.
Automatic Noise Limiter-reduces impulse-type noise while receiving.
Universal Mounting Bracket-lets you mount your CB securely in your vehicle or on a table or
shelf in your home, ~.

Attaching the Microphone Holder
You can connect the microphone holder to either side of the transceiver or to another location
in your vehicle.To attach the holder to either side of the transceiver,secure the holder to the
side using the supplied screws and lock washers.To attach th ehgldar to another location in
the vehicle, such as dashboard. follow these steps: \
1. Using the holder as a template, mark the positions for the mounting screw holes at the
desiored location, h
2. At each mark position,drill a hole slightly smaller than the supplied mounting screws.
3, Attach the holder at the mounting location using the supplied 3mm machine screws, spring
washers.ptain washers and nuts.
Note: If you can not reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts on the machine
screws. use the supplied 3mm plain wahsres and self-tapping screws
Mounting the transceiver
The most common mounting location for this GB is under a vehicle's dashboard. However. if
you use the TRCJ’" as a basestation, you can place it on a desk. shelf,or table.
If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle . choose a location where:
. You can easily reach the CB
. Wires and cables are clear ol the vehicle's pedals at other moving parts.
The CB is not directly in front of heating vents.
, All wires and cables can reach their connection point.
Caution: If you use the CB in a vehicle. mount it cesurely'to avoid damage to the GB or vehicle
or injury to anyone in thevehicle during sudden starts or stops.
Follow these steps to mount the CB using the supplied hardware.
1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions for the screw holes on the
mounting surface.
2 In each marked location , drill a hole slightly smaller than the supplied mounting screws,
Caution: Be careful not to drill into objects behind the mounting surface.
3. Mount the bracket to the mounting surface with the supllied 6mm bolt. spring wahers, plain
wahers, and nuts.
Note: If you cannot reach behind the mounting surtace to attach the nuts on the bolts, use the
supplied 6mm self—tapping screws and plain washers to secure the bracket.
4. Attach thew CB to the mounting bracket using the suppliEd rubber washers and mounting knobs.
Connecting an antenna‘
There are many different types of CB antennas for mobil\e 085. Each type has its own
benefits, so , choose the one that meets your needs. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide
variety of antennas. ’
Note: If you are using a CB as a haséslation, see "Using the transceiver as a base station".
When you choose an antenna, keep in mind that, for the best performance, you should mount
the antenna'
.As high as possible on the vehicle
FCC ID: AAO21»l7OZ
. As far as possible from source of electrical noise
Vertically
Once you choose an antenna , follow its mounting instructions. Then route the cable to the
transceiver and connect thecable to the ANT jack on the back of the transceiver.
Cautions: . \
Avoid routing the cable next to sharp edges or moving parts, which might demage the cable,
. Do not run the cable next to power cables at other eadio antenna cables.
.Not not run the cable through the engine compartment or other areas that produce extreme heat.
To achieve your radio's maximum range, adiust the antenna's Standing Wave Ratio ( SWR)
using an SWR meter.
Follow the instructions supplied with the SWR meter and antenna to adjust your antenna‘s
SWR to the lowest possiblevalue. SWR values of 2:1 are generally acceptable, with readings
ot1.5:1 or lower being more desirable,
Connecting the microphone
1. Press the tab on the side of the supplied microphone‘s plug and insert the plug into the
microphone jack on the sideoi the transceiver. Be sure the tab is aligned with the jack‘s notch.
2. Slide the microphone onto the microphone holder. ‘
Caution: To disconnect the microphone from the transceiver, press the tab on the side of the
plug. Then pull out the plug, Never pull on the microphone cable.
Using vehicle battery power
Follow these steps to connnect the transceiver to vehicle battery power.
1. Connect the red wire ( with inline fuse holder) on the bapk oi the transceiver to a point in
your vehicle's fuse blockthat have power only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON position.
2. Connect the black wire to a metal part of the vehicle's frame.
Caution: Do not connect the black wire to a non—metallic part. or to any part insulated from the
vehicle's chasis bynon-metallic part.
Using the transceiver as a base station
Although this transceiver is designed mainly for mobile use, you can also use it as a base
station with an AC powersource.
For base station installation, you need these items:
. 12-V DC power supply that can supply at least 1,5amps.
Caution. Most iZ-V DC power supplies plug into a standard AC outlet to produce DC power.
Before connect yoru 08 to a 12—V DC power, read and follow the instructions include the power supply.
. Base station antenna
Coaxial antenna cable and connector \-
y Note: You local Radio Shack store carries coaxial antenna cable and connectors.
Follow these steps to instaltthe CB as a base station.
1. Mount the base station antenna as desirbéd in its owner's manual.
Warning: Use extreme caution when an install or remove a base station CB antenna. If the
anytenna starts to fall, let it go. It coubcontact overhead power lines. It the antenna touches a
powerline,contact With the antenna , mast cable, or guy wirescan cause electrocution
and death. call the power company to remove the antenna . Do not attempt to do so youself.
2. Connect the antenna to the ANT jack on the back oi the CE.
FCC 1D AA021—1702
3. Connect the transceiver's black power wire to the negative (—) terminal on the DC power supply.
4. Connect the transceiver's red Wife to the position terminal on the DC power supply.
5, Connect the DC power supply to a standard AC outlet. \
Caution: To prevent damage to the CB. be sure you connect an antenna and the microphone
before you use CB.Betore you use your CB, you should know how to use it effectively and
courteousiy. "Operational Hints" contains information that will help you get more enjoyment from
your CB.
