Radio Care

This section describes the basic handling precaution of the

radio.

Table 1: IP Specification

IP Specification Description

IP67 Allows your radio to with-

stand adverse field condi-

tions such as being sub-

mersed in water.

CAUTION:

Do not disassemble your radio. This could damage

radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio.

Radio maintenance should only be done in service

depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal

on the radio.

• If your radio has been submersed in water, shake your

radio well to remove any water that may be trapped

inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped

water could cause decreased audio performance.

• If your radio's battery contact area has been exposed to

water, clean and dry battery contacts on both your radio

and the battery before attaching the battery to radio.

The residual water could short-circuit the radio.

• If your radio has been submersed in a corrosive

substance (for example, saltwater), rinse radio and

battery in fresh water then dry radio and battery.

• To clean the exterior surfaces of your radio, use a

diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh

water (for example, one teaspoon of detergent to one

gallon of water).

• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis

below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure

equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak

path into radio and your radio's submersibility may be

lost.

• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.

• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the

vent.

• Your radio with antenna attached properly is designed

to be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 m (3.28 ft)

and a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes.

Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna

may result in damage to your radio.
