(160-0420)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 33165

You Radio Shack Model 28 9-inch Color TV/VCR is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for
the Model 28 so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the Model 28 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

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

  Handle the Model 28 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage its
  circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

  Use and store the Model 28 only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

  Keep the Model 28 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
  of parts.

Modifying or tampering with your Model 28's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the Model 28's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your Model 28 is not performing as it
should, the suggestions in the troubleshooting guide might help.  If you
still have trouble, take the Model 28 to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.

CABINET CLEANING

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the Model 28 with a
soft, dry cloth.  Use a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water to remove
stains.

CAUTION:  Never use a solvent or alcohol.  Do not spray cleaners or
          insecticides near the Model 28.  Such chemicals might damage or
          discolor the outer surfaces.

HEAD CLEANING

Dirty video heads cause the playback picture to blur, even if the recorded
signal is clear.  However, video head cleaning is a delicate operation and
requires a trained technician.  For head cleaning information, contact your
local Radio Shack store.

Clean the heads only when picture quality is affected.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your Model 28 might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly.  To determine whether your Model 28 is causing the
interference, turn off your Model 28.  If the interference goes away, your
Model 28 is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the interference by:

  Moving your Model 28 away from the receiver.

  Connecting your Model 28 to an outlet that is on a different electrical
  circuit from the receiver.

  Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your Model 28.
