Cleaning
To clean the external surfaces of your radio:
1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one
gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled
brush, making sure excess detergent does not get entrapped near
the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the radio thoroughly with
a soft, lint-free cloth.
3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or
grease.
• If the radio battery contact area has been
submerged in water, dry and clean the radio battery
contacts before attaching a battery to the radio.
Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the radio.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be trapped
inside the speaker grille and microphone port can
be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the
audio quality of the radio.
• Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage
radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio.
Any radio maintenance should be performed only
by a qualified radio technician.
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits
may permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent
solution.
