TRC-485  40-Channel AM/SSB CB Transceiver
(210-1577)                 Features                   Faxback Doc. # 33135

Your Radio Shack TRC-485 40-Channel CB Transceiver is a two-way citizen's
band radio for use in your vehicle.  Or, you can connect a DC power supply
and base station antenna to set up a base station in your home.  You can
also connect optional equipment to your CB such as an external speaker.
With the right accessories, your CB also becomes a public address system.

Your CB also has these advanced features:

Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) - provides highly accurate and stable tuning.
  Frequency Synthesizer

  Single Side Band Mode - gives you twice the number of channels, and 
                          increases the effective communications range.

        Dual Watch (DW) - lets you monitor one channel while listening to 
                          another.

                   Scan - searches for active channels.

     Large, Illuminated - clearly shows the channel number, frequency, and
        Digital Display   incoming signal strength.
                                       
             CH9 Switch - lets you quickly switch to Channel 9 so you can 
                          report or monitor emergency situations.

      Built-In, Ceramic - ensure superior channel selectivity and freedom
                Filters   from adjacent channel interference.

  Built-In PA Amplifier - lets you use your CB as a public address system 
                          when you add an optional PA speaker.

  External Speaker Jack - lets you connect your CB to an external speaker.

     Built-In Automatic - ensures a constant RF modulation level.
     Modulation Control

 Automatic Gain Control - maintains a constant volume level, regardless of 
                          the signal strength.

       Switchable Noise - reduces interference from ignition systems, motors
                Blanker   and other electrical equipment.

        Squelch Circuit - compensates for signal fading and eliminates 
                          signal chopping.

        RF Gain Control - lets you adjust the receiver gain to match the 
                          strength of the receiver signal.

      Clarifier Control - improves reception of SSB (single sideband) 
                          signals.

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

NOTE:  To use this CB, you must purchase a mobile or base station antenna.
       Your local Radio Shack store has a wide variety of antennas.  For
       more information, see "Connecting an Antenna", on Faxback Doc.

FCC INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not require you to have
a license to operate this CB radio.  However, you must know Part 95 of
FCC Rules.  It explains the proper operation of a Class D citizen's band
transceiver.  We enclosed a copy of Part 95 with your CB radio.

WARNING:  Do not open the CB radio to make any internal adjustments.
          A CB radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an
          assigned frequency.  It is against the law to alter or adjust
          the settings inside the unit to exceed these limitations.

          Any adjustments to a CB radio must be made by a qualified
          technician using the proper test equipment.

To be safe and sure:

  Never open your CB radio's case.

  Never change or replace anything in your CB radio.

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

  Moving your CB radio 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 your CB radio.

This device complies with Part 95 of FCC Rules.  Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:

1.  This device may not cause harmful interference.

2.  This device must accept any interference received, including
    interference that may cause undesired operation.
