USING THE TRC-464 AS A BASE STATION

Although this CB is designed for mobile use, you can also use it as a
base station.  To do so, you need the following items.

12-volt DC power supply (such as Cat. No. 22-120)

Note:  Most 12-volt DC power supplies plug into a standard AC outlet to
       produce DC power.  Before connecting your CB to a 12-volt DC power
       supply, read and follow the instructions included with the power
       supply.

Base station antenna (such as Cat. No. 21-967)

Coaxial antenna cable and connectors.

Note:  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide variety of coaxial antenna
       cable and connectors.

Follow these steps to install the CB as a base station.

1.  Mount the base station antenna as described in its owner's manual.

Warning:  Use extreme caution when you install or remove a base station
          CB antenna.  If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It
          could contact overhead power lines.  If the antenna touches the
          power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires
          can cause electrocution and death.  Call the power company to
          remove the antenna.  Do NOT attempt to do so yourself.

2.  Connect the antenna to the ANT connector on the back of the CB.

3.  Connect the black wire (GROUND) to the negative (-) terminal of the
    DC power supply.

4.  Connect the red wire (BATT(+)), with in-line fuse, to the positive
    (+) terminal of the DC power supply.  This wire supplies power to
    operate the CB.

5.  Connect the DC power supply to a standard AC outlet.
