Your RadioShack TRC-401 Emer-
gency CB Radio is a 40-channel citi-
zen’s band radio that is specially
designed for emergency situations. It
contains a CB, an antenna, and a
power cord — all in a handy, impact-
resistant carrying case that lets you
store all of the equipment safely out
of the way and easily move it from
one vehicle to another.
Its features include:

emergency, and report the problem.

REACT might not be available in all
areas.)

Note
: The TRC-401 comes with a
telescoping antenna on a magnet-
mount base that you can attach di-
rectly to the CB for use when your ve-
hicle is not moving. If you plan to use
the CB when your vehicle is moving,
we recommend that you purchase a
standard mount antenna.
We recommend you record the TRC-
401’s serial number here. The num-
ber is on the CB’s back panel.
