• If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing Note: Your radio is preprogrammed to reset to medium volume rate, which is Level 12, by default whenever the radio powers up. Caring for Your Radio ! Caution • Your radio casting has a vent port that allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create leak paths into the radio and the radio’s submergibility will be lost.
! Caution • (For APX 4000 R Radios Only) Elastomer technology materials used for seals in rugged portable radios can age with time and environmental exposure. Therefore, Motorola recommends that rugged radios be checked annually as a preventive measure in order to assure the watertight integrity of the radio. Motorola details the disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary test equipment needed to inspect, maintain and troubleshoot radio seals in the radio’s service manual.
Servicing Your Radio • Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. Never Proper repair and maintenance procedures will assure efficient operation and long life for this product. A Motorola maintenance agreement will provide expert service to keep this and all other communication equipment in perfect operating condition. A nationwide service organization is provided by Motorola to support maintenance services.
Taking Care of the Battery LED and Sounds When your battery is low: Checking the Battery Charge Status • the LED blinks red when the PTT button is pressed.
