CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus System 745 Stereo Rack System is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the system so you can enjoy it for years.

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

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

Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema- ture wear of parts.

Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir- cuit boards and cases, and can cause the system to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type in the remote control. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemi- cals that destroy electronic circuits.

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

Caution: Gently clean the speakers with a feather duster. Do not use a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum action can permanently damage speaker elements.

Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal parts can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your system’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to op- erate it. If your system is not working as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
