CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Atomic Clock Radio is an example of superior 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. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the clock radio 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 clock radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Handle the clock radio gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the clock radio to work improper-
ly.
Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your clock radio’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the clock radio with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the clock radio.
Modifying or tampering with the Atomic Clock Radio’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authoriza-
tion to operate it. If your clock radio is not performing as it should, take it to your lo-
cal RadioShack store for assistance.
