(120-0603)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 34146

Your Optimus AM FM Portable Radio is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the radio
so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the radio dry.  If it gets 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.

    Keep the radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
    of parts.

    Handle the radio gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
    boards and cases and can cause the radio to work improperly.

    Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Old batteries
    can leak chemicals that damage your radio's electronic parts.

    Wipe the radio with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
    Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
    clean the radio.

Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your radio's 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 for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly.  To determine whether your radio is causing interference, turn it
off.  If the interference goes away, your radio is causing it.  Try to
eliminate the interference by:

    Moving your radio away from the receiver

    Connecting your radio to an outlet that is on a different electrical
    circuit from the receiver

    Contacting a radio/TV technician or your local Radio Shack store for
    help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your radio.
