CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus Model 109 4-Head HQ VHS VCR is an example or superior design and craftsman-
ship. The following suggestions will help you care for the VCR so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the VCR dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain min-
erals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the VCR only in normal temperature environments. Temperature ex-
tremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the VCR away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the VCR gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cas-
es and can cause the VCR to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type in the remote c ontrol. Old bat-
teries can leak chemicals that damage electronic parts.
Wipe the VCR with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the VCR.
Modifying or tampering with the VCR’s internal components can cause a malfunct ion and might in-
validate your VCR’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your VCR is not per-
forming as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
