MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack 6-in-1 Multi-Purpose Lantern is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship.  Follow these specifications to care for the
lantern.

  Keep the lantern dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

  Use the lantern only in normal temperature environments.

  Do not drop the lantern.

  Keep the lantern away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
  of parts.

  Wipe the lantern with a damp cloth to keep it looking new.  Do not use
  harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
  lantern.

  Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Always
  remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy
  electronic circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the lantern's internal parts can cause a
malfunction and invalidate your lantern's warranty.  If your lantern is
not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.
