There are many different types of CB antennas for mobile CBs. Each type has its own benefits, so choose the one that best meets your needs. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of antennas.

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

•as far as possible from sources of electrical noise

•vertically

Once you choose an antenna, follow its mounting instructions. Then route the cable to the transceiver and connect the cable to the ANTENNA jack on the back of the transceiver.

Antenna

To take advantage of your radio’s maximum range, adjust the antenna’s Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) using an SWR meter (not supplied).

Follow the instructions supplied with the SWR meter and antenna to adjust your antenna’s SWR to the lowest possible value. SWR values of 2.0:1 are generally acceptable, with readings of 1.5:1 or lower being more desirable.

."%#76+10".

•Avoid routing the cable next to sharp edges or moving parts, which might damage the cable.

•Do not run the cable next to power cables or other radio antenna cables.

•Do not run the cable through the engine compartment or other areas that produce extreme heat.

You can easily view your current heading at a glance. There are eight cardinal points on the display — north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest. Calibration helps the compass better separate the earth’s magnetic field from the magnetic field generated by external influences (such as your vehicle), providing more accurate heading information.

Calibrate the compass anytime you move it, or whenever distortion continuously appears. Before calibration, peel off the backing on one side of the supplied tape and attach the tape to the back of the compass, then mount the compass by peeling off the backing on the other side of the tape, then press the compass onto the level mounting surface, with the compass’ arrow facing up and pointing to the front. Do not mount the compass upside down.

The maximum range and quality of CB radio transmissions vary depending on the following conditions:

•The type and quality of antenna used

•The height of the antenna’s mounting location — the higher the antenna, the better the signal’s range

•The surrounding terrain — mountains and tall buildings limit the range

•Weather conditions

•The number of nearby radios operating on the same channel

•Standing wave ratio (SWR) between the antenna and the CB.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not require you to have a license to operate this CB radio. However, you must know Part 95 of FCC Rules. It explains the proper operation of a Class D citizen’s band transceiver. We enclosed a copy of Part 95 with your CB radio.Rý

To be safe and sure:

•Never open your CB radio’s case.

•Never change or replace anything in your CB radio.

Your CB radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your CB is causing the interference, turn off your CB. If the interference goes away, your CB is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:

•moving your CB away from the receiver

•contacting your local RadioShack store for help

This device complies with Part 15 of the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Because your CB is exceptionally quiet, any noise you hear is probably from an external source in your vehicle such as the alternator, another radio or spark plugs.

The transceiver uses an ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) circuit to reduce noise. However, if possible, try to eliminate noise by finding its source.

You can determine the noise’s source by turning off the engine and operating the CB with your vehicle’s ignition set to ACC. If the noise is reduced, the problem is in your vehicle’s ignition or electrical system.

Here are a few hints to help you reduce or eliminate such noise:

•Make all CB power and antenna wires as short as possible.

•Route the power wires away from the antenna wires.

•Be sure that the chassis ground connection is secure.

•Replace old ignition wires with new, high-voltage,noise suppression wires.

•Install noise suppressors on your spark plugs, or install new spark plugs that have built-innoise suppressors.

•If problems persist, check your alternator/generator and regulator gauges. You can reduce the noise from these sources by using bypass capacitors at the various output voltage points.

Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of noise suppression accessories.

RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the warranty period.

This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs of product removal, installation, set-upservice adjustment or reinstallation.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
