Radio Shack 21-1703 A User Manual

Cautions:

•

If you use this 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.

•

Do not mount the CB where it could damage or interfere with the 
operation of any passive restraint safety device (an airbag or seat belt).

•

Be careful not to drill into objects behind the mounting surface.

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 or other moving parts.

•

The CB is not directly in front of heating vents.

•

All wires and cables can reach their connection points.

The most common mounting location for this CB is under the vehicle’s 
dashboard. However, if you plan to use the CB as a base station, you can place it 
on a desk, shelf, or table (see “Using the Transceiver” on p.8).

To mount the CB under your dashboard:
1.

Using the supplied mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions for 
the screw holes on the mounting surface.

2.

At each marked location, drill a hole slightly smaller than the supplied 
mounting screws.

3.

Mount the bracket to the mounting surface with the supplied 5mm machine 
screws, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts.

4.

Attach the CB to the bracket using the supplied rubber washers and 
mounting knobs.
