INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE
MICROPHONE HOLDER
Using a Philips screwdriver and the sup-
plied screw and washers, attach the
supplied microphone holder to the CB's
left or right side, either horizontally or
vertically (depending on how you plan to
use it).
MOUNTING THE TRC-446
The most common mounting location for
this CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard.
If you use the TRC-446 as a base sta-
tion, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or
table (See “Using the CB as a Base Sta-
tion” on Page 8).
When mounting the CB in a vehicle,
choose a location where:
• you can easily reach the CB
• wires and cables are routed away
from the vehicle's pedals or other
moving parts
• all wires and cables can reach their
connection points
• the CB is not directly in front of heat-
ing vents
Cautions:
• If you use the TRC-446 in a vehicle,
mount it securely to avoid damage
to the CB or vehicle or injury to any-
one in the vehicle during sudden
starts or stops.
• Do not mount the CB where it could
damage or interfere with the proper
operation of any passive restraint
safety device (an air bag or seat
belt).
Follow these steps to mount the CB us-
ing the supplied hardware.
1. Select a location that provides
secure mounting.
Caution: Be careful not to drill into
anything behind the mounting sur-
face.
2. Using the slots in the mounting
bracket as a template, mark the
positions for the screw holes.
3. In each marked location, drill a hole
slightly smaller than the supplied
mounting screws.
