CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack PRO-91 150-Channel Handheld Trunking Scanner is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your scanner 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.

Use only batteries of the recommended 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 electron- ic 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 oc- casionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the scan- ner.

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.
