The warning label on my unit was at the end of the cord around the thicker area that does not retract into the dryer. If possible you might try moving it there. any sticky residue can probably be cleaned with a paper towel slight dampened with acetone (nail polish remover). That way the card will fully retract and you still keep the warning label (no risk of federal indictment, losing your firstborn, or whatever the penalty is)

There is a way. Go to the drug store and buy a product called "Goo Gone". It will remove sticky residue from absolutely anything. The cord will feel oily after the residue is gone so just wash area with warm soapy water.

I'm thinking you pulled it out way past the red mark on the cord and broke it. I did that to my vacuum cord, I had to put a pinch clothes pin on that. Sorry.

My cord did not work at all. I ended up buying another one from some where else. I would not recommend buying the cord. Go to radio shack where if it doesn't work you can return it.

I have that pad, is a sticky one with a cobra radar on top. Unlucky for me the heat of the radar plus the sticky pad combined it burned my new 2014 car dash. When I say this is because the sticky pad has the property by it self to damage plastic dash, imitation wood clear, and so many other dash finishes. Now I'm looking how to cover the damage on my new dash..... :( my dash has a granulate texture and you can see on the sticky pad spot how those granulates almost disappear, on the section where the radar has his spot for the inside electronics you can almost see the cobra logo stamped on the dash....

My mistake. Kim is correct. There is a green marking on the electric cord at 30". There is a red marking about 5" past that. Then the cord stops unreeling. Nice job Kim!

There is a "stopper" on the cord which leaves about 12 inches of cord plus the plug exposed. In all honesty, I seldom retract the cord. I figured it would be a part that wears out quickly, so I just coil the cord.

I'm wondering why they have that. It can be annoying. I have not found a way to turn it off. But the tape is a great idea.

Make sure when the magnet attaches to the back that the cord doesn't weigh it down and pull it off. Try getting closer to the outlet and reaching behind with your hand to attach the magnet. Hope that helps.

I never had a problem with the cord. Better than original but I can say that Toshiba is NOT as good as it used to be. My advice & I know I've been there ditch the laptop. If original corrds works then use it but don't depend on this latino or any other Toshiba. They actually admitted to being IN my comp. needless to say Toshiba & I will have our day in court. Best of luck. You're going to need it

we're currently using recharbeables in our sets. They seem to work well, I haven't had to replace yet (just been playing a couple of times). Actually, I did have to replace almost right away - it turns out two of the 6 were not fully charged. The gun would still tag/receive tags, but the special effects were all off and the voice/sound effects were V...E...R...Y.......S...L...O...W... but it was a good warning, and at least I could finish that game effectively. If that's what we have to look forward to, I'm pretty happy with how the tagger handles low battery.

Although our cord feels loosy-goosey & can be a pain (any movement of the unit causes the magnet to drop), it sounds like there's a problem with either your cord or the unit itself. Maybe you could contact the company for a different cord?

It's adhered via a sticky pad. So you would just pull it off and then use something like googone to removed any sticky residue. The sticky pad is a one use only deal and it's very strong!!

Yes, there is a warning message on the screen. I was a bit concerned at first but kept on using it. As it turned out, it works just fine (so far). I believe the warning message is essentially because it's not a OEM, e.i. not fully compatible with the entire system of the equipment, but still does the job. This of cause is my opinion.

I got the cord. Just return the article. Ask for return and they will send you a return for mailing and send you a new one.Cub

I used a seam ripper to raise a thread. After cutting a couple of threads; the tag just tore neatly off. It was completely removed.

Not an issue with me as I don't use the thing. My new one has such a short cord I found it worthless in my kitchen. Sorry I purchased it. I didn't want the mug so got the unit without a mug. Would rather have 6 more inches of cord.

I had the same issue. I found this video on YouTube which helped me out. Be careful not to pull the cord too far when starting. I pulled my daughters pull start all the way out the first time. :) Good luck!!
