(490-2575)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 32232

Your Radio Shack CENTRAL 1000 Monitored Personal Emergency Alert System
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following
suggestions will help you care for your system so you can enjoy it for
years.

  Keep the system dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  Do not
  submerge the pendant.  If it gets wet, simply wipe it dry.

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

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

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the system's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your system's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it. If your system is not performing as it should,
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.  If the trouble is
harming the telephone lines, the telephone company might ask you to
disconnect the system until you resolve the problem.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the phone line,
the phone company can disconnect your service.  The phone company attempts
to notify you in advance.  If advance notice is not practical, the phone
company notifies you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of your
telephone equipment.  The phone company notifies you of these changes in
advance, so you can take steps to prevent interruption of your phone
service.

LIGHTNING

Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone and power line current.  These protection circuits
meet or exceed FCC requirements.  However, lightning striking the phone
line or power line or power lines can damage your system.

Lightning damage is not common.  Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has frequent electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your system
during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
