Keep the TAD-704 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Wipe the TAD-704 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter- gents to clean the TAD-704.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD-704’s internal components can cause a mal- function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper- ate it. If your TAD-704 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
