INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your CB’s display is protected during
shipment by a piece of clear film. Care-
fully peel off this film before using your
radio for the first time.
ATTACHING THE
MICROPHONE HOLDER
You can connect the microphone holder
to either side of the CB or to another lo-
cation in your vehicle. To attach the
holder to either side of the CB, horizon-
tally or vertically, secure it using the sup-
plied machine screws and lock washers.
To attach the holder to another location
in the vehicle, such as the dashboard,
follow these steps.
1. Using the holder as a template,
mark the positions for the mounting
screw holes at the desired location.
2. At each marked position, drill a hole
slightly smaller than the supplied
mounting screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill into
anything behind the mounting sur-
face.
3. Attach the holder at the mounting
location using the supplied machine
screws and lock washers.
MOUNTING THE CB
The most common mounting location for
this CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard.
However, if you use the TRC-519 as a
base station, you can place it on a desk,
shelf, or table (see “Using the CB as a
Base Station” on Page 7).
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 ve-
hicle’s pedals or other moving parts.
• the CB is not directly in front of heat-
ing vents.
• all wires and cables can reach their
connection points.
Warning: If you use the CB in a vehicle,
mount it securely to avoid damage to the
CB or vehicle or injury to anyone in the
vehicle during sudden starts or stops.
