CARE

Keep the CB dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the CB only in room temperature environments. If used in a boat, do not expose CB to extreme heat or cold for prolonged periods of time. Handle the CB carefully; do not drop it. Keep the CB away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If your CB is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack, use the store locator feature on RadioShack's website (www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-The Shack (843-7422) and follow the menu options. Modifying or tampering with the CB's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
