INSTALLATION

ATTACHING THE

MICROPHONE HOLDER

You can attach the microphone holder to either side of the transceiver or to another location in your vehicle.

To attach the holder to either side of the transceiver, secure the holder to the side using the supplied screws, washers, and lock washers.

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.

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 surface.

3. Attach the holder at the mounting location using the supplied 3 mm machine screws, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts.

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-

503 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.
