General care
The only radio maintenance required is ensuring the
battery has sufficient charge and that the antenna and
battery are not damaged.
Notice To prevent permanent damage to the radio
case, do not allow the radio to come into contact with
detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays, or petroleum-
based products.
For general battery care, see "Maintaining battery life
and performance" on page 152.

current P25 channel.
Tx Tone Cal Transmits a 1011 Hz or 1031 Hz tone on the current
channel with a bit error rate (BER) of 5%.
Tx power test Displays hardware-related information while the
radio is transmitting. Information includes the final
PA current (in mA)
