CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Handsfree Speaker-
phone Car Kit is an example of superi-
or design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you
care for your speakerphone so you
can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the speakerphone away
from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
• Keep the speakerphone dry. If it
gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals
that can corrode the electronic cir-
cuits.
• Use and store the speakerphone
only in normal temperature envi-
ronments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic
devices, and distort or melt plastic
parts.
• Handle the speakerphone gently
and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases
and can cause the speakerphone
to work improperly.
• Wipe the speakerphone with a
damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the
speakerphone.
Modifying or tampering with the
speakerphone’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and might in-
validate your speakerphone’s warran-
ty. If your speakerphone is not
performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
Checking/Replacing the
Fuse
The speakerphone’s power cable con-
tains a 2-amp fuse. If your speaker-
phone stops working properly, follow
these steps to check/replace the fuse.
1. Disconnect the lighter socket con-
nector from the vehicle’s lighter
socket, then unscrew and remove
the tip on the end of the connec-
tor.
2. Pull out and check the fuse. If it is
blown (or if you are unsure),
replace it with a new 2-amp, 125V
fuse (available at your local
RadioShack store).
Caution: Use only a fuse of the
same type and rating as the one
supplied with the connector.
3. Securely screw the tip back on
the connector.
