Weatheradio Alert 
(120-0246)              Care and Maintenance          Faxback Doc. # 19118 
 
Your Radio Shack Weatheradio Alert is an example of superior design and 
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the 
Weatheradio so you can enjoy it for years. 
 
    Keep the Weatheradio dry. 
 
    Use and store the Weatheradio only in normal temperature environments. 
 
    Handle the Weatheradio gently and carefully.  Don't drop it. 
 
    Keep the Weatheradio away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature 
    wear of parts. 
 
    Wipe the Weatheradio with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking 
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong  
    detergents to clean the Weatheradio. 
 
    Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Always  
    remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy  
    electronic circuits. 
 
Modifying or tampering with the Weatheradio's internal components can cause 
a malfunction and might invalidate the Weatheradio's warranty.  If your 
Weatheradio is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio 
Shack store for assistance.
