The following suggestions will help you care for your telephone cassette recorder so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the telephone cassette recorder dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Use and store the telephone cassette recorder only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Keep the telephone cassette recorder away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Handle the telephone cassette recorder gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the telephone cassette recorder to work improperly. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your telephone cassette recorder's electronic parts. Wipe the telephone cassette recorder with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the telephone cassette recorder. Modifying or tampering with the telephone cassette recorder's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your telephone cassette recorder is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your cassette recorder until you have resolved the problem. 12
