Your TRC-494 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you care for your TRC-494 so you can enjoy
it for years.
Keep the TRC-494 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
circuits.
Handle the TRC-494 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the TRC-494 to work improperly.
Use and store the TRC-494 only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort and melt plastic parts.
Keep the TRc-494 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Wipe the TRC-494 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the TRC-494.
Modifying or tampering with the TRC-494's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your TRC-494's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your TRC-494 is not performing as it
should, take it to you local Radio Shack store for assistance.
REPLACING THE POWER CORD'S FUSE
The TRC-494's 2-amp fuse helps protect your CB from power surges and short
circuits. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 2-amp, 250-volt, fast-
acting fuse (Cat. No. 270-1052).
Follow these steps to replace the fuse.
1. Unplug the power cord from the vehicle's cigarette lighter and be
sure the CB is turned off.
2. To open the cigarette-lighter plug and remove the fuse, turn either
end counterclockwise and release it.
3. If the fuse is blown, replace it.
CAUTION: Make sure you replace the fuse only with another fuse of
the same type and rating.
4. To close the cigarette-lighter plug, put the open ends together, then
turn either end clockwise.
