Cleaning the Universal Connector Cover
When and where to use:If the radio is exposed to water, dry the universal connector before attaching
an accessory or replacing the dust cover. If the radio is exposed to salt water or contaminants, perform
the following cleaning procedure.
Procedure:
1 Mix one tablespoon of mild dishwashing detergent with one gallon of water to produce a 0.5%
solution.
2 Clean only the external surfaces of the radio with the solution. Apply the solution sparingly with a
stiff, nonmetallic, short-bristled brush.
3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft and lint-free cloth. Ensure the contact surface of the
universal connector is clean and dry.
4 Apply Deoxit Gold Cleaner or Lubricant Pen (Manufacturer CAIG Labs, Part number G100P) on
the contact surface of the universal connector.
5 Attach an accessory to the universal connector to test the connectivity.
Postrequisites:
NOTE: Do not submerge the radio in water. Ensure excess detergent does not get trapped in
between the universal connector, controls, or crevices.
Clean the radio once a month for maintenance. For a harsher environment such as in petrochemical
plants or in a high salt density marine environment, clean the radio more often.
