CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack TRC-504 40-Channel Mobile CB Radio is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your CB
so you can enjoy it for years. 

Keep the CB dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can con-
tain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

Handle the CB gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the CB to work improperly.

Use and store the CB in normal temperature environments. Tempera-
ture extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or
melt plastic parts.

Keep the CB away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
of parts.

Wipe the CB with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the CB. 

Modifying or tampering with the CB’s internal components can cause a malfunction
and might 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 assis-
tance.
