CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi- ately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the system to work improp- erly.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and dis- tort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, clean- ing solvents, or strong deter- gents to clean it.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits.
Modifying or tampering with the sys- tem’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the system’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your sys- tem is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
