Care and Cleaning
Do not carry your radio by the antenna or remote microphone.
Wipe the battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt, grease, or other material that
may prevent good electrical connection.
When not in use, keep the accessory jacks covered with the protective cap.
If cleaning the radio housing becomes necessary, use a cloth or paper towel dampened with
a non-abrasive cleaner. Glass cleaner works well. Avoid using strong chemicals. DO NOT
submerge in water.
