CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

Your HTX-10 10-Meter Transceiver is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you care for your transceiver so you can enjoy it for years.

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

Use and store the transceiver only in normal tem-
perature environments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices and dis-
tort or melt plastic parts.

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

Handle the transceiver gently and carefully.
Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases
and can cause the transceiver to work improper-
ly.

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

Modifying or tampering with the transceiver’s internal compo-
nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warran-
ty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
transceiver is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
