CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus Model 66 Hi-Fi Stereo VCR is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your VCR so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the VCR dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain min- erals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the VCR only in normal temperature environments. Temperature ex- tremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the VCR away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Handle the VCR gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cas- es and can cause the VCR to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type in the remote control. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your VCR remote control’s elec- tronic parts.

Wipe the VCR with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the VCR.

Modifying or tampering with the VCR’s internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate your VCR’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your VCR is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
