Care and Maintenance
To enjoy your RadioShack 40-Channel Mini-
Mobile CB Radio for a long time:
• Keep the CB dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the CB only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the CB gently and carefully. Do
not drop it.
• Keep the CB away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the CB with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
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 lo-
cal RadioShack store for assistance.
REPLACING THE FUSE
The CB’s 2-A in-line fuse helps protect your
CB (and vehicle) from power surges and
short circuits. Replace a blown fuse with a 2-
A, slow-blow glass fuse, available at your lo-
cal RadioShack store.
Caution
: Do not use a fuse with ratings other
than those specified here. Doing so might
damage your CB.
Follow these steps to check and replace the
fuse.
1. Make sure the power source and CB are
both off.
2. Hold the fuse holder by both ends, push
the ends together, twist one end coun-
terclockwise, then pull them apart.
3. Remove the old fuse and inspect its
condition. If it is not blown, reinsert it. If it
is blown, insert a new one of the same
type and rating.
4. Push the fuse holder ends together and
twist one end clockwise.
