INSTALLATION
ATTACHING THE
MICROPHONE HOLDER
You can connect the microphone hold-
er to the right side of the transceiver or
to another location in your vehicle.
To attach the holder to the transceiver,
secure it with the supplied mounting
screws and lockwashers.
To attach the holder to another loca-
tion in the vehicle, such as the dash-
board, follow these steps.
1. Using the holder as a template,
mark the positions for the mount-
ing screw holes at the desired
location.
2. At each marked position, drill a
hole slightly smaller than the sup-
plied mounting screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill
into anything behind the mount-
ing surface.
3. Attach the holder at the mounting
location using the supplied mount-
ing screws, lockwashers, wash-
ers, and nuts.
MOUNTING THE TRC-442
The most common mounting location
for this CB is under a vehicle’s dash-
board. However, if you use the TRC-
442 as a base station, you can place it
on a desk, shelf, or table. See “Using
the CB as a Base Station” on Page 9.
If you are mounting the CB in a vehi-
cle, choose a location where:
• You can easily reach the CB.
• Wires and cables are clear of the
vehicle’s pedals or other moving
parts.
• The CB is not directly in front of
heating vents.
• All wires and cables can reach
their connection points.
