INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need four AAA batteries (not supplied) to protect the o rganizer’s mem ory

required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
• Always remove old or weak batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can damage your system.

an example of super ior design and craftsmanship. The fo llowing suggestions will
help you care for your organizer so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the organize r dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedia tely. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the org anizer only in norma l temperature environment s.
Temperature extrem es can shorten the l ife of electronic dev ices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the organizer away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the organize r gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage ci rcuit boards and cases and can cause the organizer to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your organizer’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the organizer with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the organizer.
Modifying or tampe ring wit h the organi zer’s internal c omponents can cause a malfunction and might in vali date its war ranty an d void y our FCC au thori zatio n to operate it. If your organizer is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for as sistance. If the tr ouble is affecting the telephone li nes, the
phone company can a sk you to di sconnect you r organizer until you have resolved
the problem.

65-790.fm Page 26 Monday, November 29, 1999 3:59 PM
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that you r organizer
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can disconnect your
service. The phone company attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance no tice is not practical , the phone compan y
notifies you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lin es, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of your organizer . The phone
company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take steps to
prevent interruption of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your organizer has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage
from surges in phone line or power li ne
current. These protection circuits meet
or exceed FCC requiremen ts. However,
lightning striking the phone line can
damage your organizer.
Lightning damage is not common. How ever, if you live in a n area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest you
unplug your organizer during storms to
reduce the possibility of damage.
