CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus Model 36 9" Color TV/VCR Combo is an example of superior design and craftsman- ship. The following suggestions will help you care for your Model 36 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the Model 36 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the Model 36 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the Model 36 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Handle the Model 36 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the Model 36 to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage your Model 36’s electronic parts.

Wipe the Model 36 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the Model 36.

Modifying or tampering with the Model 36’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your Model 36 is not perform- ing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
