Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 40 Channel Mobile CB. Your CB is a great way to communicate with other CB radio operators. You can mount it in a vehicle for mobile use, or in your home for use as a base station.
To use this CB, you must connect a mobile or base station antenna. Your local RadioShack store has a wide variety of antennas. For more information, see “Connecting an Antenna” on Page 3.

You can attach the microphone holder to the right side of the transceiver or to another location in your vehicle.
To attach the holder to the transceiver, secure the holder to the right side using the sup pli ed 3 m m mac hin e sc rew s and lock washer.
To attach the holder to another location in the vehicle, such as the dashboard, follow these steps.
1. Using the holder as a template, mark the positions for the mounting screw holes at the desired location.

The most common mounting location for this CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard. However, if you plan to use the CB as a base station, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table (see “Using the Transceiver as a Base Station” on Page 6).
If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle, choose a location where:
• You can easily reach the CB.
• Wires and cables are clear of the vehicle’s pedals or other moving parts.
• The CB is not directly in front of heating vents.
• All wires and cables can reach their connection points.
Follow these steps to mount the CB using the supplied hardware.

Connecting an 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.

Use extreme caution when you install or remove a base station CB antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. Do not attempt to do so yourself!

Calibration helps the compass better separate the earth’s magnetic field from the magne tic field generated b y externa l influences (such as your vehicle), providing more accurate heading information.
Calibrate the compass anytime you move it, or whenever distortion continuously appears.

• The height of the antenna’s mounting location — the higher the antenna, the better the signal’s range
• The surrounding terrain — mountai ns and tal l 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.

Because your CB is ex cep tio nal ly 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 noi se . How e ver, if possible, try to eli mi nat e 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 ign iti on wires with new, high- volt age, noise suppression wires.
• Install noise suppressors on your s park p lug s, or i ns t al l new spark plugs that have built-in noise suppressors.
• If problems persist, ch eck your alternat or/generator and regulator gauges. You can reduce the noise fro m these sources by using bypass capacitors at the various output voltage points.
Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of noise suppression accessories.
