• Accessory connector cover must be attached to
the radio side accessory connector if an
accessory is not attached to the radio.
• If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high
force water spray, such as from a hose, remove
the side accessory connector or accessory
connector cover immediately and check to make
sure no water was forced into the accessory
connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area
and re-attach the accessory or accessory
connector cover if leakage occurs.
• If the radio is exposed to a corrosive
environment, such as salt water or corrosive
gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio
immediately to prevent damage to radio
materials, especially plated surfaces. Refer to
Cleaning Your Radio on page 15
instructions. Remove the battery and the
antenna before cleaning if exposed to corrosive
environments.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone
port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will
decrease the audio quality of the radio.
• Do
not
disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.
•
CAUTION:
Do
not
use the radio without an
accessory connector or a dust cover in
place as contamination can build up on
the contacts.
• Underwriter Laboratory (UL) certified radios
should only be opened and serviced by UL
approved service centers. Opening or repairing
at unauthorized locations will invalidate the
radio’s hazardous location rating.
• Do
not
pound, drop, or throw the radio
unnecessarily.
• When charging the radio using a wall mounted
charger, the radio must be turned off. Otherwise,
the Emergency may be accidentally triggered.
