(200-0227)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 46749

Your RadioShack DX-397 AM/FM/SW 12-Band Portable Receiver is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions 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 and store the receiver only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

  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.

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

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.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your receiver might cause radio or TV interference even when it is
operating properly.  To determine whether your receiver is causing the
interference, turn off your receiver.  If the interference goes away, your
receiver is causing it.  Try to eliminate the interference by:

  Moving your receiving away from the receiver.

  Connecting your receiver to an outlet that is on a different electrical
  circuit from the receiver.

  Contacting your local RadioShack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your receiver.
