CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your PRO-2045 200-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner is an example of superior design and crafts- manship. The following suggestions will help you care for the PRO-2045 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cas- es and can cause the scanner to work im- properly.

Use and store the scan- ner only in normal tem- perature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasional- ly to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh

chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de- tergents to clean the scanner.

Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invali- date the scanner’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not operating as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.
