CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus Model 29 13” Color TV with Built- In VHS VCR/Model 30 20” Color TV with Built-In VHS VCR is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your TV/VCR so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the TV/VCR dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq- uids can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.

Use and store the TV/VCR only in normal temperature environ- ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type in the remote control. Always re- move old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can dam- age electronic circuits.

Handle the TV/VCR gently and carefully. Dropping it can dam- age circuit boards and cases, and cause it to work improperly.

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

Wipe the TV/VCR with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look- ing new. Do not use harsh chem- icals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it.

Modifying or tampering with the TV/VCR’s inter- nal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your TV/VCR is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your TV/VCR might cause TV or radio interfer- ence even when it is operating properly. To de- termine whether your TV/VCR is causing the interference, turn off your TV/VCR. If the inter- ference goes away, your TV/VCR is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:

Moving your TV/VCR away from the receiver

Connecting your TV/VCR to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver

Contacting your local RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your TV/VCR.

RESETTING THE TV/VCR’S MEMORY

You can clear all settings from the TV/VCR’s memory at once. This is handy if you want to load new channels into the TV/VCR’s memory.

To reset the TV/VCR’s memory, eject the cas- sette tape (if loaded), then press and hold down both PLAY/REPEAT and REW on the front of the TV/VCR for at least 5 seconds. The TV/VCR shuts itself off, and the settings are erased.
