FCC INFORMATION
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 ply to the operation of a Class D CB. We have provided a copy of these regulations with your CB radio.
FCC Rules
. These rules ap-
Warning
make any internal adj us tme nts . A CB rad io is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the unit to exceed these limitations.
To be safe and sure:
Your CB radio might cause TV or radio inter­ference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your CB radio is caus­ing the interference, turn off your CB radio. If the interference goes away, your CB is caus­ing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you st op usin g your CB ra­dio.

• never open your CB radio’s cases.
• never change or replace anything in your CB radio.
• moving your CB radio away from the TV or radio
• contacting your local RadioShack store for help

MOUNTING THE CB
The most co mmon mount ing loc ation for t his CB is under a veh ic le’ s das hb oard . Ho w ev er, if you use the CB as a base station in your home or office, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table (see “Using the CB as a Base Station” on Page 7).
To mount the holder near the receiver in an­other location in your vehicle (such as a dashboard), or somewhere in your home or office, such as a nearby wall, follow these steps.
1. Using the holder as a t emplate, m ark the positions for the screw holes at the desired location.
2. At each marked position, drill a pilo t hole slightly smaller than the mounting screws.
Installation
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 and other moving parts
• the CB is not directly in front of heating vents
• all wires and cables can reach their con­nection point

CONNECTING AN ANTENNA
There are many different types of antennas for mobile CBs, each with its own benefits. You can choose one that best fits your needs, available at your local RadioShack store.
Note
: If you are us in g thi s C B as a ba se sta ­tion, see “Using the CB as a Base Station” on Page 7.
When you choose an antenna, keep in mind that, for the best performance, you should mount the antenna:
• as high as possible on your vehicle, home or building
• as far as po ssible fr om sources of elec­trical noise
Note
: If you cannot reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts on the bolts, use the

Cautions
To take advantage of your radio’s maximum range, adjust the antenna’s Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) using an SWR meter, available at your local RadioShack store.
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.
:
• Avoid routing the cable next to sharp
edges or moving parts wh ich m ight d am­age the cable.
• Do not run the cable next to power
cables or other radio antenna cables.
• Do not run the cable through a vehicle’s
engine comp artment or other areas th at produce extreme heat.

USING THE CB AS A BASE STATION
Although this CB radio is des ign ed m ai nly for mobile use, you can also use it as a base station with an AC power source. For base station installation, you need these items:
7
21-1705.fm Page 8 Thursday, September 7, 2000 10:41 AM
• a 13.8V DC power supply that supplies at least 1.5 amps (available from RadioShack)
Caution
: Most 13.8V DC power sup­plies plug into a standard AC outlet to produce DC power. Before connecting your CB to a 13.8V DC power supply, read and follow the instructions included with the power supply.
• base station antenna (available from RadioShack)
• coaxial antenna cable and connector (available from RadioShack)
Warning
: 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 the 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 remove it yourself!
Follow these steps to install the CB as a base station.
4. Connect the CB’s red wire to the posi­tive (+) terminal on the DC power sup­ply.
5. Connect t h e D C pow e r su pp l y t o a s tan ­dard AC outlet.
Cautions
:
• To comply with FCC RF exposure com­pliance requirements, maintain a dis­tance of at least 20 cm between this device’s antenna and all persons.
• To prevent damage to the CB, be sure you connect an antenna and the micro­phone before you use the CB.

COMMON USES FOR A CB
Personal Uses
• 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 .
• If you are a two-car (or more) family, CB radios are gr eat for co mmunicati ng with family members while they are in their cars.
• Contact friends or neighbors — find out “what’s happening” or plan a get­together.
• Ever have car trouble or run out of gas on the highway? W hat an assurance it is to be able to radio for assistance!
• Camping, fishing, and other sports are more fun with a CB radio. Locate a buddy or find out “what’s cooking” back at camp.
Business Uses
• For security officers, a CB is more than a convenience — it is a must for both safety and efficiency.
To switch back to a non-emergency channel,

Note
: Your CB radio’s transmission range is

REDUCING NOISE
Note:
Operation instructions are for satisfy-
ing FCC RF exposure requirements. Because your CB is exceptionally quiet, any
noise you hear is probably from an external source in your vehicle such as an alternator, another radio, or spark plugs.
The transceiver uses an ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) circuit to reduce noise. How­ever, if poss ibl e, try to eli min ate the noi se 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 (or ON). If the noise is reduc ed, the problem is in your vehicle’s ignition or electrical system.
Your local RadioShack store has a wide se­lection of noise-suppression accessories.
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 grou nd c onn ec ­tion 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-in noise 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.

Care and Maintenance
To enjoy your RadioShack 40-Channel Mini­Mobile 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 environm ent s.
• 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 occa­sionally 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 perform in g as it sh ou l d, t ak e i t to yo ur lo­cal 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 2­A, slow-blow glass fuse, available at your lo­cal RadioShack store.
2. Hold the fuse holder by both ends, push the ends together, twist one end coun­terclockwise, then pull them apart.
3. Remove the old fuse and inspect its condition. If it is not blown, rein sert 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.
