CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack PRO-2048 200-Channel Programmable Home Scanner is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will
help you care for your scanner so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the scanner to work improp-
erly.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-
tergents to clean the scanner.
Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your scanner’s warranty and void your FCC autho-
rization to operate it. If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
