DX-398 All-Band Shortwave Receiver
(200-0228)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 45682

Your RadioShack DX-398 All-Band Shortwave Receiver with Radio Data System
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggest-
ions will help you care for your receiver so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the receiver dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

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

  Handle the receiver gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
  boards and cases and can cause the receiver to work improperly.

  Use and store the receiver only in normal temperature environments. Temp-
  erature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage 
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

Modifying or tampering with the receiver's internal components can cause a
malfunction, invalidate your receiver's warranty and void your FCC 
authorization to operate it.  If your receiver is not operating as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Resetting The Display

If the display shows random characters or does not work properly, you might
need to reset it.

IMPORTANT:  This procedure clears the set time and resets the receiver's
            microprocessor (the component that controls how the receiver
            operates), but all stations remain stored.  Reset the receiver
            only when you are sure it is not working properly.

            To reset the display, insert a pointed object, such as a 
            straightened paper clip, into the RESET hole on the bottom of
            the receiver.  Then gently press and release the button inside
            the hole.
