CARE  
Your RadioShack EC-219 24K Elec-  
tronic Organizer with Web Site Direc-  
tory is an example of superior design  
and craftsmanship. The following sug-  
gestions will help you care for your or-  
ganizer so you can enjoy it for years.  
• Keep the organizer dry. If it gets  
wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-  
uids might contain minerals that  
can corrode electronic circuits.  
• Use and store the organizer only  
in normal temperature environ-  
ments, and avoid sudden temper-  
ature  
changes.  
Temperature  
extremes can shorten the life of  
electronic devices, damage bat-  
teries, and distort or melt plastic  
parts.  
• At very low temperatures, the dis-  
play’s response time might slow  
70  
oad from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Dow  
down or the display might fail  
completely. This is only tempo-  
rary. The organizer works nor-  
mally again when it returns to  
normal temperature.  
• Handle the organizer gently and  
carefully. Dropping it can damage  
the circuit boards and cause it to  
work improperly.  
• Wipe the organizer with a damp  
cloth occasionally to keep it look-  
ing new. Do not use harsh chemi-  
cals, cleaning solvents, or strong  
detergents to clean it.  
• If the organizer is exposed to  
strong static electrical charges,  
the display might become dim or  
the organizer might fail to  
respond. This rarely happens, but  
if it does, reset your organizer  
oad from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Dow  
71  
(see “Resetting the Organizer” on  
Page 76).  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and type. Always  
remove old or weak batteries.  
They can leak chemicals that can  
destroy the electronic circuits.  
Modifying or tampering with the orga-  
nizer’s internal components can cause  
a malfunction and might invalidate the  
warranty. If the organizer is not per-  
forming as it should, take it to your lo-  
cal RadioShack store for assistance.  
REPLACING THE  
BATTERIES  
Your organizer is powered by two 3-  
volt CR2032 lithium batteries and  
oad from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Dow  
72  
backed up by another CR2032. When  
the display dims or stops working  
properly, replace the main batteries.  
To protect the data stored in your orga-  
nizer, replace the back-up battery once  
a year. We recommend RadioShack  
Cat. No. 23-162 for both main and  
back-up batteries.  
Cautions:  
• Never remove all three batteries  
inside the battery compartment at  
the same time. If you do, you  
could lose stored information.  
• Be sure to turn off your organizer  
when replacing the battery. Other-  
wise, you could lose the stored  
information.  
To protect the data stored in your  
organizer, remove the old batter-  
oad from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Dow  
73  
ies and install the new ones as  
quickly as possible.  
Follow these steps to replace the main  
batteries or the back-up battery.

1. Press ON/OFF to turn off the orga-  
nizer.  
2. Use  
a
Phillips screwdriver to  
remove the screw on the battery  
compartment cover, then slide the  
cover off in the direction of the  
arrow on the cover.  
3. Use the end of a screwdriver or  
other object to pry out the battery  
or batteries you are replacing,  
oad from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Dow  
74  
then install the new one(s) with  
the positive (+) side(s) facing up.  
Warning:  
• Always dispose of old batteries  
promptly and properly.  
• Never burn batteries.  
• Keep batteries out of reach of  
children. Swallowing a battery  
could be fatal.  
Caution: Be sure to keep the two  
main batteries in the battery com-  
partment while replacing the  
back-up battery.  
4. Replace the cover, then reinsert  
and tighten the screw.
