Caring for Your Radio
• The radio casting has a
vent port that allows for
pressure equalization in
the radio. Never poke this
vent with any objects,
such as needles,
tweezers, or screwdrivers.
This could create leak
paths into the radio and
the radio’s submergibility
will be lost.

• The radio is designed to be submerged to a
maximum depth of 1 meter, with a maximum
submersion time of 30 minutes. Exceeding
either maximum limit may result in damage to
the radio.
• If the radio battery contact area has been
submerged in water, dry and clean the radio
battery contacts before attaching a battery to the
radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit
the radio.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and
microphone port can be removed. Otherwise,
the water will decrease the audio quality of the
radio.
• Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.
