CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack CT-501 Handheld Flip-Style Cellular Tele-
phone is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you care for your phone
so you can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the phone and all of its parts and accessories out
of the reach of children.
• Keep the phone dry. Liquids might contain minerals that
corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas. its
moving parts can be damaged.
• Do not store the phone in hot areas. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and warp or melt plastic parts.
• Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone
warms up (to its normal operating temperature), mois-
ture can form inside the phone, which could damage the
phone’s electronic circuits.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling
can break internal circuit boards.
• Wipe the phone with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-
vents, or strong detergents to clean your phone.
Modifying or tampering with the phone’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and invalidate your phone’s warran-
ty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
