Your Realistic TRC-435 40-Channel CB is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the CB so
that you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the CB dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

  Use and store the CB only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, and
  distort or melt plastic parts.

  Handle the CB gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
  boards and cases, and can cause the CB to work improperly.

  Keep the CB away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
  parts.

  Wipe the CB with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
  clean the CB.

Modifying or tampering with the CB's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the CB's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your CB is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store.  Our personnel can assist you and
arrange for service if needed.

Your CB might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly.  To determine whether your CB is causing the interference, turn
off your CB.  If the interference goes away your CB is causing the
interference.  Try to eliminate the interference by:

  Moving your CB away from the receiver.

  Contacting your local RadioShack store for help.  If you cannot
  eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your
  CB.
