PRO-24 (200-0503) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 3367 Your Radio Shack PRO-24 16-Channel Direct-Entry Programmable Scanner is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your PRO-24 so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits. Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the scanner to work improperly. Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the scanner. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits. Modifying or tampering with the scanner's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the scanner's warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance. (br/all-12/02/94)
