CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Radio Shack MTX-103 VHF Marine Transceiver is an example of superior de- sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the trans- ceiver so you can enjoy it for years.

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

Handle the transceiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the transceiver to work im- properly.

Use and store the transceiver only in normal temperature environ- ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de- vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the transceiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre- mature wear of parts.

Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter- gents 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. If your transceiver is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
