Chapter 3 Daily operation
• Inspect the radio for broken, loose, or missing parts and fasteners, taking corrective
action as required.
• Make sure the radio is operated and stored within the recommended temperature range.
Operating temperature: -5° F to 140° F (-15° C to 60° C)
Storage temperature: -40° F to 158° F (-40° C to 70° C)
◦ Cold temperature extremes may result in reduced available energy from the battery
pack. This energy is recoverable as the battery pack warms to 68° F (20° C).
◦ Do not subject the radio to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in a vehicle in
bright sunlight. Extended exposure to warm temperature extremes can result in
permanent reduction in available energy from the battery pack.
• Exit all external applications at the end of each work day. This ensures that all
applications communicating with the radio have terminated their Bluetooth links.
• Charge the battery nightly.
