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.
