The AC adapter may become warm during use; this is normal and is no cause  for concern.* Do not use any RF switch other than the one included with your NES.* Do not disassemble or try to repair the NES components.  Doing so voids your  warranty.* Always turn the power switch of the Control Deck off before loading or  removing a Game Pak.  Insert the Game Pak completely without forcing either  the Game Pak or the Control Deck.  Load ONLY NES Game Paks into the NES  Control Deck.  To remove a Game Pak, push the eject button and carefully  remove the game.  A Game Pak cannot be removed if the power switch is in the  on position.* After you have finished playing, be sure to remove the Game Pak from the  Control Deck.* Do not store the Control Deck in a humid place, on the floor or in any  location where it may collect din, dust, lint, etc.* Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the NES components.PAGE 20-------* Do not leave the Control Deck turned on for extended periods when not in use.* When disconnecting any plugs from the Control Deck first turn the Control  Deck off, then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.  Do  not step on, sharply pull or bend any wires or cables.* Do not expose the Control Deck, Game Paks or any other of the NES components  to extreme heat or cold.* Do not spill liquids on the Control Deck, Game Paks or any other of the NES  components.  To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth.  Allow the component  to dry completely before using again.  (Use water only.)* Do not rapidly turn the power switch on and off, as this may cause battery  backed-up Game Paks to lose your stored game information.PAGE 21-------GAME PAK PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE* If you are playing for a long time, take a 10 or 15 minute break every hour.* The Game Pak is a high precision piece of electronics.  Do not store it in  places that are very hot or cold.  Do not hit, drop or otherwise abuse it.  Do not take it apart.* Avoid touching the connectors with your fingers.  Do not blow on them or  allow to get wet or dirty.  Doing so may damage the Game Pak and/or the  Control Deck.* Do not clean with benzene, paint thinner, alcohol or any other solvent.* Always store the Game Pak in its protective cover when not in use.* Always check the Game Pak edge connector for foreign material before  inserting the Game Pak in the Control Deck.  To prevent the edge connectors  from becoming dirty, we recommend that you regularly use the NES Cleaning  Kit only.  Cleaning kits are available at all Authorized Nintendo World Class  Service Center locations and at most retailers.PAGE 22 & 23 (ROMSTAR 90-DAY LIMITED WARRANTY)PAGE 24 (ROMSTAR REPAIR SERVICE AFTER EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY)PAGE 25 (COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS)PAGE 26 (blank page)PAGE 27-------(picture of the Romstar logo)Player supportIf you have any questions regarding your COWBOY KID Game Pak, please feel freeto contact your Player Support Department at:  (213) 539-5283Please return your Free Subscription Card to Romstar's Newsletter.
