Your GO Partner 1680X Chess Compu¬
ter is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following sugges¬
tions will help you care for your computer
so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the computer dry. If it
gets wet, wipe it dry immedi¬
ately. Liquids contain min¬
erals that can corrode the
electronic circuits.
Use and store the computer
only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature
extremes can shorten the
life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and dis¬
tort or melt plastic parts.
Handle the computer gently
and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and
cases, and can cause the
computer to work improp¬
erly.
Keep the computer away
from dust and dirt, which
can cause premature wear
of parts.
Wipe the computer with a
damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not
use harsh chemicals, clean¬
ing solvents, or strong de¬
tergents to clean it.
Modifying or tampering with the compu¬
ter’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its war¬
ranty. If your computer is not performing
as it should, take it to your local Radio
Shack store for assistance.
