8. Troubleshooting Guide 
The RT300-134 Audio cable retractor was carefully 
tested during production. We would like to offer the 
following suggestions: 
Make sure that no cable or power cord is damaged or 
pinched. If there has been damage, do not use the 
CNK200 or the retractable cable.  
RT300-134 is a precision retractor. Once the cable 
reaches its end, do not continue pulling on it. Doing so 
will damage cable and the retractor assembly.  
Please call the Altinex Customer Service Department at 
(714) 990-2300 to have the unit repaired.
