FEATURES

Your Radio Shack T RC-488 40-Chan­nel 2-Way CB Radio is a high perfor­mance citizen’s band radio that also
lets you tune to nationa l weather ser­vice broadcasts. This CB is pe rfect for
recreational, business, or emergency
use. It lets you talk to other people with
CBs at home, in their vehicles, or at
camp sites. You can also connect o p­tional equipment to your CB, such as a
DC power supply and base station an­tenna to set up a base station in your
home.

Your CB has the following features:

7-Channel WX Band Receiver

— lets
you tune to seven national weather fre­quencies so you can hear your local
weather conditions as well as weather
forecasts wherever you travel.

Emer

ency Channel Selector

— lets
you quickly switch to Channel 9 so you
can report or monitor emergency situ­ations.

PLL (Phase-Locked Loo p) F req uen­c

nthesizer

— provides reliable

and exact tuning.

Two Ceramic Filters

— provide supe­rior channel selectivity and eliminate
adjacent-channel interference.

Automatic Noise Limitin

(ANL)

—
reduces noise caused by nearby elec­trical equipment such as motors or au­tomotive ignition systems.

LED Channel Displa

— displays the
selected channel (1-40). When chan­nel 9 is selected with the emergency
channel switch, the 9 f lashes continu­ously. When a weather channel is se­lected, the display “blanks-out.”

RF Gain Control

— lets you adjust the
receiver gain to match the strength of
the received signal.

Universal Mountin

Bracket

— lets
you mount your CB securely in your
vehicle or on a table or shelf in your
home.

Important

: To use this CB, you must
connect a mobile or base station an­tenna (available at your local Radio
Shack store). See “Installing an Anten­na” on Page 8.

H

steresis Squelch

— automatically
adjusts receiver sensitivity to compen­sate for fading signals and to eliminate
signal chopping during reception.

For your records, we recommend you
record your CB’s serial number in the
space below. The serial num ber is lo­cated on the CB’s back panel.

CB TIPS

Like any other activity, CB radio has its
rules and courtesies. The following tips
will help you get the m ost enjoyment
out of your CB.

COMMON USES FOR A
CB RADIO

Business Uses

• Truck drivers and delivery person­nel use it to get road and traffic
conditions and obtain assistance
in locating destinations. A CB is
good company on those “long
hauls.”

• Construction crews use it to call
for additional materials or for coor­dinating the activities of different
work crews.

• To security officers, a CB is more
than a convenience — it is a must
for both safety and efficiency.

Personal Uses

plan a get-togethe r. You can even
meet new friends this way.

• Ever have car trouble or run out of
gas on the highway? It’s a relief to
be able to use the CB to call for
assistance.

• Camping, fishing, or other sports
are more fun with a CB. Locate a
buddy or find out “what ’s cooking”
back at camp.

CB COURTESY

Please follow these guidelines of radio
courtesy when using your CB.

• Wait for a pause in someone
else’s transmission before you
ask for a break.

• If you do not receive an answer to
your call after a second attempt,
sign off and wait several minutes
before trying again.

• Do not hold d own the m icrophone
talk button when you are not talk­ing. (This is called dead keying.)

• Keep in touch with home while
driving to work, to the store, or to
a social activity. Let your family
know you are tied up in traffic or
that you will stop by the store on
the way home.

• CBs are great on trips to commu­nicate with family members while
they are in separate cars.

• Contact friends or neighbors —
find out “what’s happening” or

• Assist callers with directions,
information about road conditions,
and any other reasonable
requests.

.

15

21-1585.fm Page 16 Thursday, August 5, 1999 9:39 AM

MAXIMUM RANGE

The maximum range and quality of CB
transmissions vary depending on:

• The type and quality of antenna
used.

• The height of the antenna’s
mounting location (the higher the
antenna, the better the reception).

• The surrounding terrain (moun­tains and tall buildings limit the
range).

• The weather conditions.

• The number of nearby CBs oper­ating on the same channel.

• The standing wave ratio (SWR)
between the antenna and the CB.
You c an set the SWR by u sing an
SWR tester (such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 21-523). Follow the
instructions that come with the
SWR tester.

REDUCING NOISE

The Automatic Noise Limiting (ANL)
circuit helps keep background noise to
a minimum. However, strong s ources
of noise, such as your vehicle’s igni­tion, another radio, or spark plugs may
be more than the circuit can compen­sate for.

If you operate the TRC-488 with the
vehicle’s engine off, you should not
have any problems with noise. If you
use the CB with the engine on, you can
determine the source of the noise by
turning off the engine and operating
the CB with the ignition set to ACC. If
most or all of the noise goes away, the
problem is in your vehicle’s ignition or
electrical system.

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

• 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-in suppres­sors.

• Be sure that the ground connec­tion (black wire) is secure.

If problems persi st, check yo ur alterna­tor/generator, regulator, and gauges.
Noise from these source s can be re­duced or eliminated using bypass ca­pacitors at the various output voltage
points.

Your local Radio Shack store has a
wide selection of noise-suppression
accessories.

16

21-1585.fm Page 17 Thursday, August 5, 1999 9:39 AM

MAINTENANCE

Your TRC-488 40-Channel 2-Way CB Radio is an exam ple of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your CB so you can
enjoy it for years.

Keep the CB dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the CB gently and carefully. Dropping it can da mage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the CB to work improperly.

Use and store the CB only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the CB away f rom dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

Wipe the CB with a damp cloth occas ionally to kee p it looking new.

CLEANER

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the CB.

Modifying or tampering with the CB’s internal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate you r CB’s warran ty. If your CB i s not pe rforming as it should,
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

17

21-1585.fm Page 18 Thursday, August 5, 1999 9:39 AM

REPLACING THE FUSES

The TRC-488’s red wire 2-amp in-line
fuse helps protect your CB from power
surges and short-circuits. If the fuse
has blown, replace it with a 2-amp,
fast-acting glass fuse (such as Cat.
No. 270-1007).

The orange wire’s 1-amp in-line fuse
helps protect your CB’s memory chan­nel backup from power surges and
short-circuits. If the fuse has blown, re­place it with a 1-amp, fast-acting glass
fuse (such as Cat. No. 270-1005).

Follow these steps to replace either
fuse.

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

2. Hold the fuse holder by both ends,
push the fuse holder ends
together, then turn counterclock­wise and release either end. The
fuse holder opens.
