Care and Maintenance

Your RadioShack TAD-1018 Single Microcassette Answering System with Trim- Style Phone is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your answering system so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the answering system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic cir- cuits.

Handle the answering system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the answering sys- tem to work improperly.

Use and store the answering system only in normal temperature en- vironments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the answering system’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authoriza- tion to operate it. If your answering system is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the phone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect the phone until you have re- solved the problem.
