VSC-2002  (140-1158)        Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 9777

The Radio Shack VSC-2002 Variable Speech Control Cassette Recorder with
Voice-Actuated Recording is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the
VSC-2002 so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the cassette recorder dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry
    immediately.  Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the
    electronic circuits.

    Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Always
    remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy
    electronic circuits.

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

    Use and store the cassette recorder only in normal temperature
    environments.  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic
    devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the cassette recorder's internal components
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the cassette recorder's
warranty.  If your cassette recorder is not performing as it should, take
it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
