AM/FM Stereo Mate (120-0169) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 3723 The Realistic Pocket-Size AM/FM STEREO MATE Stereo Receiver with digital tuning is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your radio so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the radio dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Handle the radio gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit board and case. Use and store the radio only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Keep the radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Wipe the radio occasionally with a damp cloth. This will help keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the radio. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals and cause damage to electronic circuits. Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate the radio's warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance. (br/all-12/20/94)
