Care and Maintenance

Your RadioShack Multi-Band AC/DC Portable Radio is an example of superior de- sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your radio so you can enjoy it for years.

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

Use and store the radio only in normal temperature environments. Tem- perature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

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

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

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