EC-342  (650-0860)          Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 16784

Your Radio Shack EC-342 48K Electronic Organizer with Auto-Dialer and Spell
Checker is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following
suggestions will help you care for the EC-342 so you can enjoy it for
years.

    Keep the EC-342 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
    contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits

    Use and store the Ec-342 only in normal temperature environments, and
    avoid sudden temperature changes. Temperature extremes can shorten the
    life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt
    plastic parts.

    At very low temperatures, the display's response time might slow down
    or the display might fail completely.  This is only temporary.  The
    directory organizer works normally when it returns to normal
    temperatures.

    Handle the EC-342 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the
    circuit boards and can cause it to work improperly.

    Keep the EC-342 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Wipe the ec-342 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 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-342's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the organizer's warranty. If the EC-342 is
not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.

RESETTING THE EC-342

If the EC-342 is exposed to strong static electrical charges, the display
might dim or "freeze up." If this happens, try resetting the Ec-342.

Insert a pointed object (such as a straightened paler clip) into the RESET
hole on the bottom of the EC0342, press and then release.

NOTE:  All files remain intact, but you must re-enter the date, time, and
       alarm (if set).

If your EC-342 still does not work properly, replace the batteries and
initialize.
