Your Radio Shack TRC-499 40-Channel 2-Way CB Radio is a high performance CB
with the maximum allowable legal power and innovative styling.

This CB is perfect for recreational, business, or emergency use.  You can

sites.  You can also connect optional equipment to your CB, such as an
external PA speaker, or a DC power supply and base station antenna to set
up a base station in your home.

Your CB has these features:

PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Frequency - provides reliable and exact tuning
Synthesizer                         using a precise frequency reference
                                    crystal.

              Two Ceramic Filters - provide superior selectivity and
                                    prevent adjacent channel interference.

        Hystersis Squelch Circuit - compensates for fading signals and
                                    eliminates signal chopping during
                                    reception.

   Automatic Noise Limiting (ANL) - reduces noise caused by nearby
   Circuit                          electrical equipment such as motors or
                                    automotive ignition systems.

         DOWN/UP Channel Selector - provides maximum convenience when
                                    selecting channels.

                      LED Display - lets you easily see the selected
                                    channel number.

       Universal Mounting Bracket - lets you mount the CB securely in your
                                    vehicle or on a table or shelf in your
                                    home.

NOTE:  To use this CB, you need a mobile or base station antenna.  Your
       local Radio Shack store has a wide variety of antennas.  For
       information on Installing the Antenna, see Faxback Doc. # 14614.

FCC INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not require you to have a
license to operate this CB.  However, the FCC does require you to read and
know Part 95 of FCC rules.  These rules apply to the operation of a Class
D CB.  We have provided a copy of these regulations with your CB.

WARNING:  Do not open your CB to make internal adjustments.  Any internal
          adjustments can be made only by authorized service personnel. 
          Internal adjustments and/or modifications can lead to illegal
          operation as defined by Part 95 of FCC rules.  Such illegal
          operation can lead to very serious consequences.

To be safe and sure:

    Never open the CB's case.

    Never modify the CB.

The CB might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly.  To determine whether your CB is causing the interference, turn
off the CB.  If the interference goes away, the CB is causing the
interference.  Try to eliminate the interference by:

    Moving the CB away from the receiver.

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using the CB.
