CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your clock radio is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your clock radio so you can enjoy it for years.

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

Handle the clock radio gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the clock radio to work im-
properly.

Use and store the clock radio only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the clock radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-
mature wear of parts.

Wipe the clock radio with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the clock radio.

Modifying or tampering with the clock radio’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your clock radio’s warranty and void your FCC autho-
rization to use it.  If your clock radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local
Radio Shack store for assistance.
