USE
The CB’s in-line fuse protects it from power surges and
short circuits. When replacement is required, use a 2-amp,
fast-acting glass fuse, available at your local RadioShack
store.
1. Make sure the vehicle and CB are turned off.
2. Hold the fuse holder at both ends, push the ends
together, twist one end counterclockwise, and pull them
apart.
3. Remove the old fuse and inspect its condition. If it is
blown, insert a new one of the same type and rating. If
it is not blown, reinsert it.
4. Push the fuse holder ends together and twist one end
clockwise.
