Radio Care
This section describes the basic handling precaution of the
radio.
Table 1: IP Specification
IP Specifica-
tion
Description
IP68 Allows your radio to withstand two
meters of water for two hours, and
adverse field conditions such as wa-
ter drops, snow, dirt, grease, or oth-
er surface contaminants.
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 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 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 is designed to be submersible to a maximum
depth of 2 m and a maximum submersion time of
120 minutes. Exceeding maximum limit may result in
damage to your radio.
