SCP-47 (140-1087) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 9693 Your SCP-47 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the SCP-47 so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the SCP-47 dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Most liquids contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits. Use the SCP-47 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Handle the SCP-47 carefully. Dropping it can damage its circuit boards and case and cause it to work improperly. Keep the SCP-47 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Occasionally wipe the SCP-47 with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the SCP-47. 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 SCP-47's internal components can cause a malfunction, invalidate your SCP-47's warranty, and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your SCP-47 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store where our personnel will assist you and arrange for service if needed. (br/all-02/23/95)
