CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus CR-307 AM/FM • Weath-
er Clock Radio is an example of supe-
rior design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you
care for your clock radio so you can
enjoy it for years.
• Keep the clock radio dry. If it gets
wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-
uids might contain minerals that
can corrode the electronic circuits.
• Use and store the clock radio only
in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can
shorten the life of electronic
devices and distort or melt plastic
parts.
• Keep the clock radio away from
dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
• Handle the clock radio gently and
carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and the case and
can cause the clock radio to work
improperly.
• Use only a fresh battery of the
required size and type. Old batter-
ies can leak chemicals that dam-
age your clock radio’s electronic
parts.
• Wipe the clock radio with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it look-
ing new. Do not use harsh chemi-
cals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the clock
radio.
Modifying or tampering with the clock
radio’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invali-
date your clock radio’s warranty and
void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your clock radio is not per-
forming as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
Your clock radio might cause TV or ra-
dio interference even when it is oper-
ating properly. To determine whether
your clock radio is causing the inter-
ference, turn off your clock radio. If the
interference goes away, your clock ra-
dio is causing it. Try to eliminate the
interference by:
• Moving your clock radio away
from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your clock radio.
