Your Model 11 9-inch Color TV/VCP is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the
TV/VCP so that you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the TV/VCP dry.  If it does not get wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

    For your TV/VCP's remote control, use only fresh batteries of the
    recommended size and type.  Always remove  old or weak batteries.
    They can leak chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.

    Handle the TV/VCP gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage its
    circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

    Use and store the TV/VCP only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
    and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

    Your TV/VCP has ventilation holes to allow heat to dissipate properly.
    Obstructing these holes or placing your TV/VCP in a confined location
    can prevent proper ventilation and cause malfunction to occur.

Modifying or tampering with your TV/VCP's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the TV/VCP's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your TV/VCP is not operating as it should,
the suggestions in the troubleshooting chart might help.  If you still need
assistance, take your TV/VCP to your local Radio Shack store where our
personnel can arrange for service if needed.

CABINET CLEANING

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

CAUTIONS:  Never use a solvent or alcohol.  Do not spray cleaners or
           insecticides near the TV/VCP.  Such chemicals might damage
           or discolor the exposed 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,
requiring a trained technician.  for more head cleaning information, go
to your local Radio Shack store,

Clean the heads only when picture quality is effected.

SERVICING

If you have problems operating your TV/VCP and you cannot find a solution
in this manual, do not open the cabinet and try to solve the problem
yourself.  There are no user-serviceable parts inside.  Turn off the power,
unplug the power cord, and take the TV/VCP to your local Radio Shack so
that our personnel can assist you.
