(160-0134)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 56159

Your Optimus 7-inch Black and White Portable Television is an example of 
superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help 
you care for your TV/radio so you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the TV/radio dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
  Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

  Use and store the TV/radio only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
  batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

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

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

  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
  Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your TV/radio's electronic
  parts.

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

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

Changing the Fuse

If the TV/radio does not work while using vehicle battery power, check the 
fuse by following these steps.

1.  Unscrew the knurled ring on the DC power cord.  Be careful not to lose
    the spring and knurled ring.

2.  If the connector bridge inside the fuse is broken, replace the fuse
    with another one rated at 2-amps, such as Cat. No. 270-1007.

    CAUTION:  Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified
              here.  Doing so might damage your TV/radio.

3.  Insert the new fuse, then replace and tighten the knurled ring.

The FCC Wants You to Know

This TV/radio complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as 
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  These limits provide reasonable 
protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.  
However, your TV/radio might cause another TV or radio to exhibit 
interference even when your TV/radio is operating properly.  To eliminate 
interference, you can try one or more of the following corrective 
measures:

  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the other TV or radio.

  Increase the distance between your TV/radio and the other TV or radio.

  Use outlets on different electrical circuits for this TV/radio and the
  other TV or radio.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.
