CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your radio is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty
coverage.
•
Do not use or store the radio in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
•
Do not store the radio in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•
Do not store the radio in cold areas. When the radio returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the radio and damage electronic
circuit boards.
•
Do not attempt to open the radio other than as instructed in this guide.
•
Do not drop, knock, or shake the radio. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the radio.
•
Do not paint the radio. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
radio and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your radio, battery, charger, or
any enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest
authorized service facility for service.
