TROUBLESHOOTING
With proper care and handling, your mixer should give you years of trouble-free
service. However, if your SSM-1250 is not working properly, follow these sugges-
tions to see if you can eliminate the problem. If you cannot, take the mixer to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
