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.
Cleaning the radio
Notice Risk of permanent damage to the radio
housing! Do not clean the radio with solvents or
alcohol based products. This includes (but is not
limited to) ethylene glycol (antifreeze), propanone
(acetone), ethanol (methylated spirits), isopropyl
alcohol, and pool chlorine (calcium hypochlorite).
To clean the radio:
1 Use a lint-free, dry cloth to remove surface dirt, oil,
or grease.
2 Use an alcohol-free, antibacterial wipe to disinfect
the radio.
Tone test Generates an audible tone for the duration of the
test.
Tx Tone Transmits a tone of 1011 Hz or 1031 Hz on the
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)
1. CNV = conventional, TCH = traffic channel, CCH = control channel
2. ANA = analog, PH1 = P25 Phase 1, PH2 = P25 Phase 2
