NAVIGATION & VIEWING FUNCTIONS
While viewing a catalog, do NOT use the RIGHT mouse button.  It's functions are not designed to work.  You will be able to Zoom-In, but not Zoom-Out.

This button takes you back to the main page you were on.

The pages of the RadioShack catalogs are stored in 2 sizes: low resolution (72 dpi) and hi-resolution (150 dpi).  In order to display the pages quickly and not cause the user to wait for pages to load, the low-resolution format is displayed by default.  However, since the smaller text can be difficult to read, the user then has the option to Zoom-In on a catalog page.  By zooming-in, the hi-resolution image loads.

2x Zoom:
To zoom-in and view the image 2x as large, use the "Zoom-In" button.

3x Zoom and precision control:
To zoom-in and view the image 3x as large, use your LEFT mouse button.  (Note: Do NOT use your RIGHT mouse button as these will cause the pages to view improperly). For precise zoom-in, while on a catalog page, move your mouse over the area you want to zoom. Click your LEFT mouse button to zoom-in.

Once you zoom-in, you can Click & Drag your mouse to move to other areas of the page.

To zoom-out after zooming-in, you can either use the "Zoom-Out" button or your LEFT mouse button. (Do NOT use your RIGHT mouse button as these will cause the pages to view improperly).

Clicking the "Previous" button will take you to the previous catalog page.  Or, you can click on the outer corners of the left-hand page to view the previous page.

Clicking the "Next" button will take you to the next catalog page.   Or, you can click on the outer corners of the right-hand page to view the next page.

This function allows you to quickly go to a specific catalog page.  To use this function, click on the down arrow and scroll down to the specific page.  NOTE: If the page does not advance when you first select a specific page number, select another page, then go back.

FLIPPING PAGES - You can also navigate to the next or previous page by flipping the pages as you would when you read a printed catalog.  To do so, position your mouse over the upper or lower outside corner of a page.  Click, hold & drag your mouse.

PRINTING PAGES
While viewing a catalog page, although you are able to right-click and select "Print...", the page will not print properly. This was done for potential copyright reasons.
