Chronomatic-293  (120-1593)    Care and Maintenance    Faxback Doc. # 9491

The Chronomatic-293 AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care
for the clock radio so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the clock radio dry.  If it gets wet, dry it immediately. 
    Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
    circuits.

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

    Handle the clock radio gently and carefully.  Do not drop it.

    Keep the clock radio away from excessive dust and dirt, which can
    cause premature wear of parts.

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

    Use only a fresh battery of the required size and type.  Always remove
    an old or weak battery which can leak chemicals that destroy
    electronic circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the clock radio's internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate the clock radio's warranty
and void your FCC authorization to operate it.  IF your clock radio
is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack
store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

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

    Moving your clock radio away from the receiver.

    Connecting your clock radio 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 clock radio.
