The TRC-499 40-Channel 2-way 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
    might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

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

    Keep the CB away for 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 your CB's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your CB is not performing as it should,
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
