Your RadioShack )0#3URJUDPPDEOH#,QWHUFRP is an example of superi-
or design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you
care for your LQWHUFRP so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the intercom dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediate-
ly. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the elec-
tronic circuits.
Use and store the intercom only in normal temperature en-
vironments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of
electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the intercom away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the intercom gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the inter-
com to work improperly.
Wipe the intercom with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean the intercom.
Modifying or tampering with the intercom’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your intercom is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
