Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Due to its rugged design, the UM425 requires very little maintenance. Howev-
er, it is a precision electronic instrument, so you should follow a few precau-
tions:
If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit except in
•
the case of an emergency. A defective antenna may cause damage to
your radio.
You should arrange for periodic performance checks with your Uniden
•
dealer.
