Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electron'lccircuits.

Use and store the product only in nor- mal temperature environments. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Handle the product gently and careful- ly. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the product to work improperly.

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

Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, clean- ing solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.

Use only fresh batteries of the recom- mended size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic cir- cuits.

Modifying or tampering with the pro- duct'sinternal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the product'swarranty. If your product is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store. Our per- sonnel can assist you and arrange for service if needed.
