Your RadioShack Talking 360° Laser/Radar Detector is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your detector so you can
enjoy it for years.
• Keep the detector dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi-
ately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the
electronic circuits.
• Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
• Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the
detector to work improperly.
• Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep
it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean the detector.
Modifying or tampering with the detector’s internal compo-
nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its war-
ranty. If your detector is not performing as it should, take it to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
