Model 19  (160-0411)        Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 16546

Your Model 19 9-inch Color TV/VCP is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the Model
19 so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the Model 19 dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

    For your remote control, use only fresh batteries of the recommended
    size and type.  Always remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak
    chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.

    Handle the Model 19 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage
    its circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

    Use and store the Model 19 only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, and
    distort or melt plastic parts.

    Keep the Model 19 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    The Model 19 has ventilation holes to allow heat to dissipate
    properly.  Obstructing these holes or placing your Model 19 in a
    confined location can prevent proper ventilation and cause
    malfunctions to occur.

Modifying or tampering with your Model 19's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the Model 19's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it.  If your Model 19 is not performing as it
should, the suggestions in the troubleshooting chart might help.  If you
still have trouble, take your Model 19 to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.

CABINET CLEANING

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the Model 19 with a
clean, soft, dry cloth.  Use a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water to
remove stains.

CAUTION:  Never use a solvent or alcohol.  Do not spray cleaners or
          insecticides near the Model 19.  Such chemicals might damage or
          discolor the outer surfaces.

HEAD CLEANING

Dirty video heads cause the playback picture to blur, even if the recorded
signal is clear.  However, video head cleaning is a delicate operation and
requires a trained technician.  For more head cleaning information, contact
your local Radio Shack store.

Clean the heads only when picture quality is affected.

SERVICING

If you have problems operating your Model 19 and you cannot find a solution
in this manual, do not open the cabinet and try to solve the problem
yourself.  There are no user-serviceable parts inside.  Turn off the power,
unplug the power cord, and take the Model 19 to your local Radio Shack
store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

The Model 19 might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly.  To determine whether your Model 19 is causing the interference,
turn off your Model 19.  If the interference goes away, the Model 19 is
causing the interference.  Try to eliminate the interference by:

    Moving your Model 19 away from the receiver.

    Connecting your Model 19 to an outlet that is on a different electrical
    circuit from the receiver.

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

    If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you
    stop using your Model 19.
