INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE TRC-488

If you use the TRC-488 as a base sta-
tion, you can mount it on a desk, shelf,
or table.

The most common mounting location
for the CB is under a vehicle’s dash-
board. If you use the TRC-488 in a ve-
hicle, mount it securely to avoid
damage to the CB or vehicle or injury
to anyone in the vehicle during sudden
starts or stops.

When you mount the CB in a vehicle,
make sure:

• You can easily reach the CB.

• Its wires and cables do not inter-

fere with any of the vehicle’s mov-
ing parts.

• The CB is not directly in front of

heating vents.

• All wires and cables reach their

connection points.

Follow these steps to mount the CB
using the supplied bracket, screws,
washers, and knobs.

1. Using the mounting bracket as a

template, mark the positions for
the screw holes.

2. In each marked location, drill a

hole slightly smaller than the sup-
plied screws.

Caution: Be careful not to drill into
any objects behind the mounting
surface.

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver,

attach the mounting bracket to the
mounting location with the sup-
plied screws and lock washers.
