1. Introduction

TCB-880 transceiver is designed to have a good performance
in any conditions that the transceiver operates, using rugged
build chassis, PCB’s and components. This transceiver is also
designed for users’ convenience, implementing human ergono­mics to locate the knobs and buttons in the proper places. The
combination of well designed knobs and buttons as well as user
friendly graphic layouts will lead users to quickly adapt themsel­ves for the easy operation. The newly applied menu mode will
make professional users more satisfactory with pleasure. The
elegant and luxury blue LED light supporting the face design
will go well with any vehicles.

This instruction manual has been designed to enable you to get
the best use from your CB Transceiver, therefore you are reco­mmended to take a few minutes to read this instruction manual
before initial use of your CB Transceiver.

Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone first, which
is most convenient for the operation. The transceiver should
normally be mounted horizontally, but may be mounted
vertically. The bracket supplied can be fitted above or below the
case allowing the TCB-880 to be cradled by the bracket or
suspended from it.

ENGLISH

Consider that this location of the transceiver should not
interfere with the driver and passengers. Choose a spot where
the microphone and all controls are easily accessible.

1) Put the mounting bracket on the proper location where you
are going to install.

2) Drill holes and fix mounting bracket on the location.

3) Connect the antenna cable plug to the standard receptacle
on the transceiver, which
is marked "ANT".

4) Connect the power cable directly to the vehicle battery or
fuse box of the car. Be careful to make sure of the polarity of
the battery first and connect the cable.(Red: Positive Pole(+),
Black: Negative Pole(-). The same colours are shown on the
battery and in the fuse box of the car.)

5) Connect the power cable to the transceiver cable.

6) Mount the microphone bracket on one side of the transceiver,
or near it using two screws included.

7) Connect the microphone to the transceiver’s microphone
receptacle. Now you are
ready to operate the
transceiver.

Installing An Antenna

It is very important to select a good quality high efficiency
27MHz antenna. A poor quality antenna or one not designed for
the 27MHz band will give very poor performance and could
cause damage to the transceiver.

1) Place the antenna as high as possible.

2) The longer the antenna is, normally the better is the
performance of the transceiver.

3) Try to mount the antenna in the centre of the surface that
you select.

4) Make sure that you have a solid metal-to-metal ground
connection.

5) Be careful not to damage the cable during the installation.
Warning : Never try the operation of your transceiver before

connecting a proper antenna in order not to cause any damage.
