General Information
Several conditions determine the distance that your radio will transmit a clear
data/voice communication. The following list describes many conditions and their
typical affect on your radio's transmitting distance.
Cleaning
Clean external surfaces of the radio with a mild detergent and a stiff, non-
metallic, short-bristled brush. A suitable detergent solution may be mixed by
adding one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5%
solution). Apply the detergent solution sparingly with the brush, being careful not
to allow excess detergent to remain entrapped near connectors and controls or in
cracks and crevices. Do not submerse the radio in the detergent solution. Dry the
radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Clean all battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt, grease, or
other foreign material that may prevent good electrical connections.
Handling
Avoid physical abuse; do not pound, drop, or throw the radio
unnecessarily. Do not carry the radio by the antenna.
Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Never allow the radio
to become submersed.
Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents, or spirits.
Do not disassemble the radio in any way. Keep the connector cover in place
until ready to use the accessory connector. Replace the cover immediately after

Clean the radio with the recommended solution only. Cleaning the radio
with solvents or spirits may be harmful and permanently damage the
radio housing.
