Pocket Weatheradio  (120-0242)       Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 6745

The Realistic Weatheradio is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the radio
so that you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the radio dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Some 
liquids contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the radio only in normal temperature environments.  High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries,
and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

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

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 radio's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the radio's warranty and void the FCC
authorization to operate it.  If the radio is not preforming as it should,
take it to the local Radio Shack store.  Our personnel can assist you and
arrange for service if needed.
