INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE
MICROPHONE HOLDER
You can mount the microphone holder
to either side of the CB or to another lo-
cation near your receiver.
Caution: Do not mount the CB micro-
phone holder where it could damage or
interfere with the operation of any pas-
sive restraint safety device (an airbag or
seat belt).
To mount the holder to either side of the
CB, use the two supplied
1
/
8
-inch (3-mm)
machine screws, plain washers, and
spring washers as shown to secure the
holder.
To mount the holder near the receiver in
another location in your vehicle (such as
a dashboard), or somewhere in your
home or office, such as a nearby wall,
follow these steps.
1. Using the holder as a template,
mark the positions for the screw
holes at the desired location.
2. At each marked position, drill a hole
slightly smaller than the mounting
screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill into
anything behind the mounting sur-
face.
3. Mount the holder using the machine
screws, spring washers, plain wash-
ers and nuts.
Note: If you cannot reach behind the
mounting surface to attach the nuts to
the machine screws, use the two sup-
plied
1
/
8
-inch (3-mm) screws and plain
washers.
MOUNTING THE CB
The most common mounting location for
this CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard.
However, if you use the TRC-502 as a
base station in your home or office, you
can place it on a desk, shelf, or table
(see “Using the CB as a Base Station”
on Page 8).
If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle,
choose a location where:
• you can easily reach the CB.
• wires and cables are clear of the
vehicle’s pedals and other moving
parts.
