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.
