Model-25 9" Color  (160-0417)   Care and Maintenance   Faxback Doc. # 3917
TV/VCR

The Radio Shack Model 25 9-inch Color TV/VCR is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care
for the Model 25 so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the Model 25 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

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

    Handle the Model 25 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage its
    circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

    Use and store the Model 25 only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
    damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

    Keep the Model 25 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

Modifying or tampering with your Model 25's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the Model 25's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it.  If your Model 25 is not performing as it
should, the suggestions in the troubleshooting guide might help.  If you
still have trouble, take the Model 25 to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.

CABINET CLEANING

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the Model 25 with a
clean, soft, dry cloth.  Use a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water to
remove stains.

CAUTION:  Never use a solvent or alcohol.  Do not spray cleaners or
          insecticides near the Model 25.  Such chemicals might damage or
          discolor the outer surfaces.

HEAD CLEANING

Dirty video heads cause the playback picture to blur, even if the recorded
signal is clear.  However, video head cleaning is a delicate operation and
requires a trained technician.  For head cleaning information, contact
your local Radio Shack store.

Clean the heads only when picture quality is affected.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your Model 25 might cause TV or radio interference even when is it
operating properly.  To determine whether your Model 2 is causing the
interference, turn off your Model 25.  If the interference goes away, your
Model 25 is causing the interference.  Try to eliminate the interference
by:

    Moving your Model 25 away from the receiver.

    Connecting your Model 25 to an outlet that is on a different
    electrical circuit from the receiver.

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your Model 25.
