Handling Precautions
The Andorra Portables radio meets IP55 specifications with
antenna attached, 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 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 6.3mm diameter at flow rate of 12.5 l/
min, with water pressure at 30 kN/m2 and from a distance of
2.5m to 3m for at least 3 min. 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 to leak.
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.
