6 ) Product Care and Service

Your system has been designed to give years of trouble free use. Great effort was
given to the selection of the highest quality components and fixtures. Following are
tips and suggestions that will help keep your system fully functional.

6.1 ) Heads Up Display

The Heads Up Display (HUD) can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers as they can damage the LCD panel and the housing. Your HUD
requires no additional user maintenance.

6.2 ) Remote / Pager

Your Remote/Pager (RP) is designed to be carried on a law enforcement duty belt.
Included   with   your   system   is   a   custom   belt   holster   that   is   engineered   to   offer
durability, ease of use, and comfort when carrying the RP.

Your RP can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners as
they can damage the LCD panel and the case. Do not submerge the RP in water.
However, if the RP does become immersed in water, turn it off immediately. Allow
the RP to completely dry before attempting to charge or turn it on again.
