Care and Maintenance
Your RadioShack Portable Cassette Recorder is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your recorder so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the recorder dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the recorder only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the recorder away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the recorder gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the recorder to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your recorder’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the recorder with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the recorder.
Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty. If your recorder is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
