Troubleshooting

REDUCING NOISE

Because your CB is exceptionally quiet, any 
noise you hear is probably from an external 
source in your vehicle such as the alternator, 
another radio or spark plugs.

The transceiver uses an ANL (Automatic 
Noise Limiter) circuit to reduce noise. 
However, if possible, try to eliminate noise by 
finding its source.

You can determine the noise’s source by 
turning off the engine and operating the CB 
with your vehicle’s ignition set to ACC. If the 
noise is reduced, the problem is in your 
vehicle’s ignition or electrical system.

Here are a few hints to help you reduce or 
eliminate such noise:

• Make all CB power and antenna wires 

as short as possible.

• Route the power wires away from the 

antenna wires.

• Be sure that the chassis ground 

connection is secure.

• Replace old ignition wires with new, 

high-voltage, noise suppression wires.

• Install noise suppressors on your spark 

plugs, or install new spark plugs that 
have built-in noise suppressors.

• If problems persist, check your 

alternator/generator and regulator 
gauges. You can reduce the noise from 
these sources by using bypass 
capacitors at the various output voltage 
points.

Your local RadioShack store has a wide 
selection of noise suppression accessories.

CARE

To enjoy your CB for a long time, keep the 
CB dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. 
Use and store the CB only in normal 
temperature environments. Handle the CB 
gently and carefully. Do not drop it. Keep the 
CB away from dust and dirt. Wipe the CB 
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it 
looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the CB’s internal 
components can cause malfunction and 
invalidate its 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 for assistance. 

REPLACING THE FUSE

The CB’s 2-amp in-line fuse helps protect 
your CB from power surges and short 
circuits. When replacement is required, use a 
2-amp, slow-blow glass fuse.

Caution: Do not use a fuse with ratings other 
than those specified. Doing so might damage 
your CB.

Follow these steps to replace the fuse.

1. Make sure the power source and CB are 

both off.

2. Hold the fuse holder by both ends, push 

the ends together, twist one end 
counterclockwise, then pull them apart.

3. Remove the old fuse. 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.
