(650-0873)                Care and Maintenance        Faxback Doc. # 19163

Your Radio Shack EC-373 32K Data Directory Electronic Organizer is an 
example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions 
will help you care for your EC-373 so you can enjoy it for years. 

    Keep your EC-373 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. 
    Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic 
    circuits. 

    Handle your EC-373 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the 
    circuit boards and can cause it to work improperly. 

    Use and store your EC-373 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. 

        NOTE:  At very low temperatures, the display's response time might
               slow down or it might fail completely.  This is only
               temporary.  Your EC-373 returns to normal operation at
               warmer temperatures. 

    Keep your EC-373 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts. 

    Wipe your EC-373 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean your EC-373. 

    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 your EC-373's internal components can cause a 
malfunction and might invalidate the organizer's warranty.  If your EC-373 
is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store 
for assistance. 

RESETTING THE DIRECTORY 

If your EC-373 is exposed to a strong static electrical charge, the 
directory might lock up or the display might dim.  This rarely happens, 
but it does, reset the EC-373. 

NOTE:  The reset procedure does not delete any information..  It only 
       resets the display. 

Insert a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) into  the RESET
hole on the bottom of the EC-373, then press and release.

CAUTION:  Do not press ENTER when resetting your EC-373, or all your stored
          information will be deleted. 
 
          If your EC-373 still does not work properly, replace the 
          batteries and press RESET again. 
 
NOTE:  If your EC-373 is still working improperly after resetting it, try 
       initializing it.  Follow the steps in "Initializing the Directory." 
       Make sure you have backup records of your EC-373's records because 
       initializing it deletes all files.
