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 tem- perature environments. Temperature 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. Drop- ping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the transceiver to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your transceiver’s electronic parts.
Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasion- ally 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 compo- nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your transceiv- er is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.
