Keep the TAD-1027 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Wipe the TAD-1027 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter- gents to clean the TAD.

Modifying or tampering with the TAD-1027’s internal components can cause a mal- function and might invalidate your TAD’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your TAD-1027 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your TAD until you have resolved the problem.
