CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack PRO-29 60-Channel Direct Entry Programmable
Scanner is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The fol-
lowing suggestions will help you care for the PRO-29 so you can enjoy
it for years.
Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
circuits.
Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.
Always remove old and weak batteries. They can leak
chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the scan-
ner to work improperly.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature envi-
ronments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt
plastic parts.
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents,
or strong detergents to clean the scanner.
Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate the scanner’s warranty and
void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not operat-
ing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
