CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack
Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Always remove old and weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the scan- ner to work improperly.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature envi- ronments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the scanner.
Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the scanner’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not operat- ing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
