CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack
Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain min- erals that can corrode the electronic cir- cuits.
Use only rechargeable batteries of the rec- ommended size and type. Always remove old and weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the scanner to work improperly.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occa- sionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the scanner.
Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal com- ponents can cause a malfunction, invalidate your scan- ner’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not operating as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
