13. CARING FOR THE RADIO EQUIPMENT
13.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance on the radio and the Control Head installation should be performed periodically.
Harris recommends performing preventive maintenance on an annual basis, or more often in harsh environ-
ments such as an installation in a fire truck or motorcycle. At a minimum, preventive maintenance should
include:
• Inspecting all mobile radio related hardware to verify it is in place and securely tight. Any missing or
loose hardware should be replaced and/or tightened as necessary.
• Inspecting all Control Head related hardware to verify it is in place and securely tight. Any missing or
loose hardware should be replaced and/or tightened as necessary.
• Inspecting all cabling to verify it is not damaged, it is securely tied-and-stowed, and all related cable
connectors are tight. Repair as necessary.
• Performing radio and antenna system performance tests as described in this manual. Repair the antenna
system as necessary.
• Verifying overall radio operation by performing an operations check.
13.2 CLEANING THE RADIO EQUIPMENT
Keep the exterior of the radio equipment clean. This includes the radio, Control Head, microphone, and
speaker. Periodically clean them using either the Light-duty cleaning procedure or in extreme cases the
Heavy-duty cleaning procedure:
13.2.1 Light-Duty Cleaning Procedure
The following general cleaning procedure is recommended for light-duty cleaning:
1. Turn off the radio via the Control Head’s on/off/volume control.
2. To remove excess dust and dirt from the radio equipment, first brush the equipment with a clean dry
soft-bristle brush.
3. Next, remove any remaining dust and dirt using a soft clean cloth dampened with a solution of mild
detergent soap and warm water, or Simple Green.
4. Follow-up by wiping the equipment with a soft clean cloth dampened with only clean warm water.
5. Finish by wiping the equipment dry with clean dry cloth.
13.2.2 Heavy-Duty Cleaning Procedure
Calla 1452 or equivalent is recommended for heavy-duty cleaning:
Do not use other chemical cleaners, sprays, or any petroleum-based products. They may
damage the radio housing, display, knob, and/or button surfaces.
Always follow all manufacturer’s usage recommendations when u
sing any cleaning
product/solution. This includes but is not limited to ensuring the work area is properly
ventilated and the wearing of safety glasses/goggles.
1. Turn off the radio via the Control Head’s on/off/volume control.
2. Remove the radio’s main power fuse and the Control Head’s ignition power fuse. Mark the two fuses
so they can be re-installed into their original locations later.
