HTX-400 Mini Handheld 70-Centimeter FM Amateur Transceiver
(190-1104) Care and Maintenance Faxback Doc. # 61419
Your RadioShack HTX-400 Mini Handheld 70-Centimeter FM Amateur Transceiver
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your transceiver so you can enjoy it
for years.
Keep the transceiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the transceiver only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the transceiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the transceiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the transceiver to work
improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your transceiver's electronic
parts.
Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the transceiver.
Modifying or tampering with the transceiver's internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it. If your transceiver is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
