Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets
IP55 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand
adverse field conditions such as being used in rain or
dusty environment
.
• If the radio has been exposed to water or rain,
shake the radio well to remove any water that may
be trapped inside the speaker grille, microphone
port and aesthetic cover (if applicable). Trapped
water in speaker grille and microphone port could
cause decreased audio performance. If aesthetic
cover is attached onto radio, trapped water in
aesthetic cover could cause corrosion on the slim
connector interface gold contacts.
• If the radio’s battery contact area has been
exposed to water, clean and dry battery contacts
on both the radio and the battery before attaching
the battery to the radio. The residual water could
short-circuit the radio.
• If the radio has been exposed to a corrosive
substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and
battery in fresh water then dry the radio and
battery.
• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a
diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and
fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one
gallon of water).
• The radio with antenna attached properly is
designed to be protected against dust and low
pressure jets of water projected with nozzle 6.3
mm diameter at flow rate of 12.5 l/min, with water
pressure at 30 kN/m
2
and from a distance of 2.5
meter to 3 meter for at least 3 minutes. Exceeding
either maximum limit or use without antenna may
result in damage to the radio.
• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high
pressure jet spray on the radio as this may cause
water to leak into the radio.
Caution:
Do not disassemble the 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.
