Chronosette-276  (120-1584)    Care and Maintenance    Faxback Doc. # 3771 
 
The Chronosette-276 AM/FM Stereo Clock Radio with Cassette Recorder is an 
example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions 
will help you care for the Chronosette-276 so you can enjoy it for years. 
 
     Keep the Chronosette-276 dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry 
     immediately.  Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the 
     electronic circuits. 
 
     Use and store the Chronosette-276 only in normal temperature 
     environments.  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of 
     electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic 
     parts. 
 
     Handle the Chronosette-276 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can 
     damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the Chronosette-276 to 
     work improperly. 
 
     Keep the Chronosette-276 away from excessive dust and dirt, which can 
     cause premature wear of parts. 
 
     Wipe the Chronosette-276 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it 
     looking new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or 
     strong detergents to clean the Chronosette-276. 
 
     Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Always 
     remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy 
     electronic circuits. 
 
Modifying or tampering with the Chronosette-276's internal components can 
cause a malfunction and might invalidate the Chronosette-276's warranty 
and void the FCC authorization to operate it.  If your Chronosette-276 is 
not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for 
assistance.
