Care AND Maintenance
Your RadioShack
•Keep the transceiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
•Use and store the transceiver 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 transceiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
•Handle the transceiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the transceiver to work improperly.
•Use only a battery pack of the required size and type. Battery packs can leak chemicals that damage your transceiver’s electronic parts.
•Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the transceiver.
Modifying or tampering with the transceiver’s internal components can cause a mal- function and might invalidate your transceiver’s warranty and void your FCC authori- zation to operate it. If your transceiver is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
