Troubleshooting
Your Sportscaster should provide you with trouble-free performance without needing
any servicing. If it does not appear to be working properly, first try to remedy the prob-
lem by following these steps:
1. Attach all connections firmly and securely.
2. Ensure the cigarette lighter adapter or auxiliary power socket is clean and free of
corrosion.
3. Check the adapter fuse by unscrewing the ribbed end of the adapter. If required,
replace with a 2-amp fuse only. If your cigarette lighter adapter does not have a
removable end cap, then it is equipped with an internal fuse that resets itself
after it is left unpowered for a period of time.
