Tandy CM-5 - Care and Maintenance

Care and Maintenance
Your CM-S should give you a long period of trouble-free service if it is connected to
the proper power source and handled gently. If the monitor malfunctions, have it
checked by a qualified Radio Shack service technician.
Installation and Location Hints
The CM-5 has openings for ventilation purposes, to provide reliable operation of the
monitor and protect it from overheating.
• Install the monitor at least four inches (0.1 meters) away from the wall.
• Never cover the openings with cloth or other material.
• Never block the openings on the bottom of the monitor by placing it on a bed,
sofa, rug, etc.
• Never place the monitor in a built-in enclosure unless proper ventilation is
provided.
• Never place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register.
• Never expose the monitor to rain, excessive moisture, or excessive dust. Moisture
and dust create fire hazards.
• Never place the monitor on an unstable desk, cart, or stand.
Operation Hints
• Operate the monitor from the power source indicated on the back of the cabinet.
Use of a power source that is not marked on the monitor can cause monitor
damage as well as improper operation.
• To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug (supplied) must be inserted into a
standard three-pin outlet which is effectively grounded. Extension cords used
with the equipment must be three-wire and correctly wired to provide connec
tion to ground. Improperly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the
power point is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your
safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power point, consult
a qualified electrician.
