HTX-252 2-Meter Amateur FM Mobile Transceiver
(190-1127)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 60183

Your RadioShack 2-Meter FM Mobile 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. 

  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.

Resetting The Transceiver

If the transceiver's display locks up or the transceiver does not work 
properly after you turn it on, you might need to reset it.

IMPORTANT:  This procedure clears all the information you have programmed 
            into the transceiver.  Before you reset the transceiver try 
            turning it off then on again to see if it begins working 
            properly.

To reset the transceiver, turn it off then hold down F and turn it on 
again.  All display elements appear, confirming the reset operation. 
Release F.

Replacing The In-Line Fuse

The transceiver (and vehicle) are protected by a 10-amp fuse in the 
transceiver's positive (red) power wire.  If the transceiver does not turn 
on, check the fuse and replace it to be certain.

Follow these steps to check or replace the fuse.

1.  Make sure the transceiver is off. 

2.  Snap open the in-line fuse holder by applying thumb pressure in
    opposite directions on the seam lock. 

3.  Remove the fuse from the holder and slide the fuse out of the end
    connectors.

4.  If the fuse's filament is blown, replace the fuse with one of the same
    type and rating.  Then snap the cover closed.
