INSTALLATION

ATTACHING THE
MICROPHONE HOLDER
You can attach the microphone holder to
either side of the transceiver or to anoth-
er location in your vehicle.
To attach the holder to the transceiver,
secure the holder to either side using
the supplied 3 mm screws and lock
washers.
To attach the holder to another location
in the vehicle, such as the dashboard,
follow these steps.
1. Using the holder as a template,
mark the positions for the mounting
screw holes at the desired location.
2. At each marked position, drill a hole
slightly smaller than the supplied
mounting screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill into
anything behind the mounting sur-
face.
3. Attach the holder at the mounting
location using the supplied machine
screws, spring washers, plain wash-
ers, and nuts.
Note: If you cannot reach behind
the mounting surface to attach the
nuts on the machine screws, use
the supplied 3 mm plain washers
and self-tapping screws.
MOUNTING THE
TRANSCEIVER
The most common mounting location for
this CB is under a vehicle's dashboard.
However, if you plan to use the TRC-
504 as a base station, you can place it
on a desk, shelf, or table (see "Using the
Transceiver as a Base Station" on Page
9).
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.
