EC-348  (650-0840)            Care and Maintenance     Faxback Doc. # 16713

The Radio Shack EC-348 128K Electronic Organizer with Auto-Dialer is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions
will help you care for the EC-348 so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the EC-348 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
    might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

    Use and store the EC-348 only in normal temperature environments, and
    avoid sudden temperature changes.  Temperature extremes can shorten the
    lift of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt
    plastic parts.

    NOTE:  At very low temperatures, the display's response time might slow
           down or it might fail completely.  This is only temporary.  The
           EC-348 returns to normal operation at warmer temperatures.

    Handle the EC-348 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the
    circuit boards and can cause it to work improperly.

    Keep the EC-348 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
    of parts.

    Wipe the EC-348 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. 
    Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
    clean the EC-348.

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

Modifying or tampering with the EC-348's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the organizer's warranty.  If the EC-348
is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store
for assistance.

RESETTING THE DIRECTORY

If the EC-348 is exposed to a strong static electrical charge, the
organizer might lock up or the display might dim.  This rarely happens,
but if it does, reset the EC-348 as follows.

Insert a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip into the RESET
hole on the bottom of the EC-348, press, and then release.

CAUTION:  Do not press ENTER when resetting the EC-348, or all your stored
          information will be deleted.

Normal operation resumes, and all previously entered files remain intact. 
If the EC-348 still does not work properly, replace the batteries and
press RESET again.

NOTES:  If you have entered a security code, you are prompted to enter it
        before resetting (see "Using the Security Code").  You cannot reset
        the EC-348 until you enter the code.

        If the EC-348 is still working improperly after the reset
        procedure, try initializing it.  Follow the steps in "Initializing
        the Directory."  Make sure you have backup records of the EC-348's
        files because initialization deletes all files.
