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.

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.
