Care
Keep the radio dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the
radio only in normal temperature environments. Handle the radio carefully;
do not drop it. Keep the radio away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a
damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Service
If your radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack, use the store
locator feature on RadioShack's website (www.radioshack.com), or call

tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to
operate it.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV
