THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de- vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a res- idential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Your Model 36 might cause radio or TV interfer- ence even when it is operating properly. To de- termine whether your Model 36 is causing the interference, turn off your Model 36. If the inter- ference goes away, your Model 36 is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:

moving your Model 36 away from the receiver

connecting your Model 36 to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver

contacting your local RadioShack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your Model 36.

REPLACING THE DC

ADAPTER’S FUSE

If the Model 36 stops operating when the DC adapter is connected, the fuse in the DC adapter might be blown. Follow these steps to check and replace it with a 5-amp, 1 1/4 x 1/4, fast-acting fuse (RadioShack Cat. No. 270-1011, not sup- plied).

Caution: Using a fuse that does not meet these ratings or defeating the fuse protection can damage your Model 36, the DC adapter, and the vehicle’s electrical system.

1.Grasp the ring near the tip of the plug, then carefully unscrew the ring by turning it counterclockwise.

Caution: If you must use pliers to loosen the ring, be careful not to crush the tip. Never use pliers or other tools to retighten the ring on the plug.

2.Pull the ring straight out, then remove the metal tip and old fuse.

3.Check the fuse to see if it is blown. If it is, replace it with a new fuse. If it is not, put the fuse back into the fuse holder.

4.Replace the metal tip inside the ring, then place the fuse inside the cigarette-lighter plug and screw the ring back onto the plug. Make sure that the metal tip is visible when you reassemble the cigarette-lighter plug.
