MAINTENANCE
CARING FOR THE
RECEIVER
Your Radio Shack
Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Never leave dead or weak batteries in the re- ceiver. They might leak chemicals that can damage the receiver.
Keep the receiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry imme- diately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the receiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and can cause the receiver to work improperly.
Use and store the receiver only in normal temperature environments. Tempera- ture extremes can shorten the life of electronic devic- es, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the receiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the receiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean your re- ceiver.
Modifying or tampering with your re- ceiver’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invali- date the receiver’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate the receiver. If your receiver is not per- forming as it should, take it to your lo- cal Radio Shack store for assistance.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your receiver might cause interference on other radio/TV devices even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing the interference, turn off your receiver. If the interference goes away, your re- ceiver is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
•Moving your receiver away from the other device.
•Connecting your receiver to an outlet that is on a different electri- cal circuit from the other device.
•Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.
