Door Alarm and (490-0422A)    Care and Maintenance     Faxback Doc. # 15628
Entry Chime

The Radio Shack Door Alarm and Entry Chime is an example of superior design
and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the
alarm so you can enjoy it for years.

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

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

    Handle the alarm gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the
    circuit boards and case and can cause the alarm to work improperly.

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

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

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

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