ˆCare and Maintenance

Your RadioShack MPA-125 100-Watt PA Amplifier is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your amplifier so you can en- joy it for years.

Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might con- tain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the amplifier only in normal temperature environments. Temper- ature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the amplifier’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your amplifier is not performing as it should, take it to your lo- cal RadioShack store for assistance.
