CARING FOR THE RECEIVER

Your Realistic DX-390 Receiver is an example of superior design and 
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for your 
receiver so that you can enjoy it for years.

    Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Never
    leave dead or weak batteries in the receiver.  They might leak
    chemicals that can damage the receiver.  If you ar not going to use
    the receiver for several days, remove the batteries.

    Keep the receiver dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

    Use and store the receiver only in normal temperature environments. 
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
    distort or melt plastic parts.

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

    Handle the receiver gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage
    circuit boards and can cause the receiver to work improperly.

    Wipe the receiver with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it
    looking new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean your receiver.

Modifying or tampering with your receiver's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the receiver's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate the receiver.  If your receiver is not
performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store where our
personnel will assist you.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your receiver might cause interference on other radio/TV devices even when
it is operating properly.  To determine whether your receiver is causing
the interference, turn off your receiver.  If the interference goes away,
your receiver is causing the interference.

Try to eliminate the interference by:

    Moving your receiver away from the other device.

    Connecting your receiver to an outlet that is on a different
    electrical circuit from the other device.

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your receiver.
