EC-388 Data Directory
(650-0720)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 45696

To enjoy your RadioShack EC-388 Data Directory for a long time:

  Keep the EC-388 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

  Handle the EC-388 gently and carefully.  Do not drop it or carry it in a
  pocket, for example, where it might get bent or twisted.

  Use and store the EC-388 only in normal temperature environments.

  Note:  At very low temperatures, the display's response time might slow
         down or it might fail completely.  This is only temporary.  Your
         EC-388 returns to normal operation at warmer temperatures.

  Keep the EC-388 away from dust and dirt.

  Wipe the EC-388 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with your EC-388's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the directory's warranty.  If your EC-388
is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.

Replacing The Battery

Your EC-388 is powered by one CR-2016H lithium battery (RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-160).  When the EC-388's display dims or stops working properly,
replace the battery.

IMPORTANT:  To avoid losing all information stored in the EC-388's memory:

              Always turn off the EC-388 before you replace the battery.

              Install the new battery within 1 minute after you remove the
              old battery.

              Do not press any keys while you replace the battery.

CAUTION:  Always use a fresh battery of the required size and type.

Follow these steps to replace the EC-388's battery.

1.  Turn off the EC-388.

2.  Remove the screw in the battery compartment cover using a small Phillips
    screwdriver, then lift up the cover to remove it.

3.  Carefully insert the head of the screwdriver in the slot next to the
    battery, then gently pry up on the battery to remove it.

4.  Insert a new battery with the positive (+) side facing up.

5.  Replace the cover, then reinsert and tighten the screw.

WARNINGS:  Keep batteries out of reach of children.  Swallowing a lithium
           battery can be fatal.

           Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

           Do not burn or bury batteries.
