Care And Maintenance - Radio Shack HTX-200 Owner's Manual

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack HTX-200 Mini Handheld Two-Meter FM Am-
ateur Transceiver is an example of superior design and crafts-
manship. 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, damage
batteries, and distort 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. Drop-
ping it can damage circuit boards and cases and
can cause the transceiver to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals
that damage your transceiver's electronic parts.
Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasion-
ally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the transceiver.
Modifying or tampering with the transceiver's internal compo-
nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty
and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your transceiv-
er is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
