The following suggestions will help you care for the radio so that you can enjoy it for years. Keep the radio dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Use and store the radio only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Handle the radio gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit boards and can cause the radio to work improperly. Keep the radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Wipe the radio with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the products. Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits. Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store. Our personnel can assist you and arrange for service if needed. FCC INFORMATION The radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your radio is causing the interference, turn off your radio.
