Cleaning the External Surface of the Radio
Prerequisites:
CAUTION: Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio
housing.
Do not submerge the radio in detergent solution.
Procedure:
1 Combine 1 teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to 1 gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush, ensuring that excess
detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls, or crevices.
3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, absorbent, lint-free cloth.
4 Ensure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or crevices.

Additional Performance Enhancement
The following performance enhancements are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the
security, quality, and efficiency of the radios.
1.3.1
ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data
ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle different message sizes and variable update rates
from different applications of the radio. To improve data channel efficiency and enable denser network
traffic, add Enhanced Data to the Integrated Data system with a software installation.
1.3.2
Dynamic System Resilience
Dynamic System Resilience (DSR) ensures that the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup
master site dynamically during a system failure. DSR also provides indications such as failure
detection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the system. DSR also supports mechanisms related to
the Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) or data centric.
