TRC-232
(210-1672) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 39010
Your Radio Shack TRC-232 4-Watt 40-Channel CB Walkie-Talkie is an example
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you care for the CB radio so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the walkie-talkie dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the walkie-talkie gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases can cause the walkie-talkie to work improperly.
Use and store the walkie-talkie in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the walkie-talkie away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the walkie-talkie with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the walkie-talkie.
Modifying or tampering with the CB radio's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the CB radio's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your CB radio is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
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 FCC
Rules. It explains the proper operation of a Class D citizens band
transceiver. We enclose a copy of Part 95 with your CB radio.
Warning: Do not open the CB radio to make any internal adjustments. A
CB radio 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. Any adjustments to
a CB radio must be made by a qualified technician using the
proper test equipment.
To be safe and sure:
1. Never open your CB radio's case.
2. Never change or replace anything in your CB radio.
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 radio is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the interference
by:
Moving your CB radio away from the receiver
Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your CB radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
REPLACING THE DC CAR ADAPTER FUSE
The DC car adapter has a 32V 2-amp fuse in the cigarette lighter plug.
When replacement is required, use a slow-blow glass fuse, such as Cat. No.
270-1023.
1. Turn the cap on the adapter plug counterclockwise to unscrew it from
the plug body.
2. Remove the old fuse and inspect its condition. If it is "blown" and
requires replacement, insert a new 2-amp fuse. If it is not "blown,"
reinsert it.
3. Replace the spring, the terminal, and the cap and screw the cap in
tightly.
