Preventive Maintenance
Inspection and Cleaning
Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external
controls and switches are functional. It is not recommended to inspect the interior
electronic circuitry.
The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and
methods to be used when cleaning the external surfaces of the radio. External
surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals the
presence of smudges, compound, or grime.
Cleaning External Plastic Surfaces
The only recommended agent for cleaning external radio surfaces is a 0.5%
solution (one teaspoon of detergent per gallon of water) of mild dishwashing
detergent in water. Apply sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush
to work all loose dirt away from the radio. Use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or
tissue to remove the solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water remains
entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or crevices.
NOTE: Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the radio is disassembled
for service or repair, and only can be done by Motorola’s Regional Radio
Service Centers or Authorized Motorola Service Centers.
