Radio Shack 12-2157 Owner's Manual - Replacing A Fuse

Care and Maintenance
• Do not store CDs in high tempera-
ture, high-humidity locations. They
might warp.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act
as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.
• Always handle a CD by the edges to
avoid fingerprints and always keep
it in its protective case or sleeve
when it is not in use. Fingerprints
and scratches on the CD’s surface
can prevent the laser beam from
correctly reading the digital informa-
tion. If the CD gets scratched, use
RadioShack Scratch ’n Fix to repair
the disc.
REPLACING A FUSE
If the stereo does not operate, you might
need to replace the red or yellow power
wire’s fuse with one of the supplied
spare fuses. Follow these steps to re-
place either of your stereo’s fuses.
1. Disconnect the cable from your
vehicle’s negative (–) battery termi-
nal.
2. To open either fuse holder, unlatch
the two latches on the fuse holder
until it springs apart.
3. Slide off the metal holder on each
end of the fuse and remove the
fuse.
4. If the fuse is blown, replace it. Use
only standard 1

wire’s fuse must be 0.5
amps. The yellow

Caution: The supplied spare fuses
have the correct rating. If you use a
fuse with an incorrect rating, the ste-
reo could be damaged.
5. Reassemble the fuse holder by
squeezing it together until it latches.
6. Reconnect the cable to the vehicle’s
negative (–) battery terminal.
