THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your Model 28 might cause TV or radio interfer- ence even when it is operating properly. To de- termine whether your Model 28 is causing the interference, turn off your Model 28. If the inter- ference goes away, your Model 28 is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the interfer- ence by:

Moving your Model 28 away from the receiver

Connecting your Model 28 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 28.

REPLACING THE DC POWER CORD’S FUSE

If the Model 28 stops operating when the DC power cord is connected, the fuse in the DC power cord might be blown. If it is, follow these steps to replace it with a 5-amp, 11/4 x 1/4, fast- acting fuse (RadioShack Cat. No. 270-1011, not supplied).

Caution: Using a fuse that does not meet these ratings or defeating the fuse protection can damage your Model 28, the DC power cord, 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 has blown. If it has, replace it.

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.
