Care and Maintenance
Your Radio Shack Pocketvision-36 Color TV is an example of superior design and craftsman-
ship. These suggestions will help you care for it so you can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the TV dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Always remove old or weak
batteries. They can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
• Handle the TV gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and
can cause the TV to work improperly. Be particularly careful of the display screen. Avoid
putting the TV in your pocket or purse together with hard objects (coins, keys, etc.).
• Use and store the TV only in normal temperature environments.
• Keep the TV away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the TV with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the TV.
Modifying or tampering with the TV’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate the TV’s warranty. If the TV is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio
Shack store for assistance.
