CAUTION:
• Your radio casing has a vent port that allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Never
poke this vent with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers.
A
• Do not submerge the radio as this results in damage to the radio.
• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids.
• 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 17
for detailed
instructions. Remove the battery and the antenna before cleaning.
• 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.
• 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 Man Down Alert and Emergency may be accidentally triggered.
