CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack PRO-74 100-Channel VHF/UHF/Air/800 MHz Race
Scanner is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The fol-
lowing suggestions will help you care for your scanner so you can en-
joy it for years.
Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi-
ately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the
electronic circuits.
Use only batteries of the required size and recommended
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
scanner to work improperly.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature
environments. 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 sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean the scanner.
Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s internal components can
cause a malfunction, invalidate the scanner’s warranty, and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not operating as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
