1.2
Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care ensure efficient operation and long life of the product.
CAUTION: Use the radio according to the following recommendations and warnings.
• Your radio casing has a vent port for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent
with objects such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers.
A
• Never obstruct or cover the vent port, even with a label.
• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent port.
• Your radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet and maximum time of
2 hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio.
• If the radio battery contacts are exposed to water without the battery attached, dry and clean
the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Turn the radio over with the
battery contact facing down and shake the radio so any trapped water can escape. A short
circuit of the contacts could occur if they are not dried properly.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio to remove any water that is
trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Otherwise, the water decreases the
audio quality of the radio.
• If an accessory is not attached to the radio, ensure that the accessory connector cover is
attached to the radio side accessory connector.
• If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high force water spray, such as from a hose,
remove the accessory or accessory connector cover immediately and ensure that no water
is 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. Remove the battery and the antenna before cleaning.
• Do not disassemble the radio as you could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.
• Only Underwriter Laboratory (UL) approved service centers can open and service UL
certified radios. Opening or repairing at unauthorized locations invalidates hazardous
location rating of the radio.
• Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily.
• Turn off the radio when charging the radio using a wall-mounted charger. Otherwise, the Fall
Alert and Emergency may be accidentally triggered.
• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high-pressure jet spray as this may exceed the depth
pressure and cause water to leak into the radio.
