BELT CLIP
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
The CBX-A belt clip is designed to
bend away rather than break, or
damage the radio case.
Remove the clip to bend it back to its
original shape. See the following
instructions to attach the CBX-A belt
clip to your RTX Plus radio. Refer to
FIG2 at left.
1. Carefully remove the two peel-off
tabs located on the sides of the
label on the case back. Screw
holes are located under the tabs.
2. Place the belt clip on the radio
case back with the two screw
holes aligned with the holes in the
radio case. Secure the belt clip
with the included screws and
washers.
CAUTION: Use only the screws
included; longer screws
will damage radio
electronics.
If you later remove the
belt clip, reinstall the
screws and washers in
the case back to seal out
dirt and moisture.

RADIO CARE
OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE
OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT:
MOISTURE: PATRIOT Plus SST Series radios are
not waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to rain
or excessive moisture.
CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or
petroleum products can damage the radio case. DO
NOT use petroleum solvents of any kind; use a soft
cloth moistened with water to clean the case.
EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can damage
the battery and other components. DO NOT expose
the units to extreme heat or leave them in direct
sunlight.
LOW TEMPERATURES: The capacity of the NiCd
battery is greatly reduced in extreme cold. When
using the unit in very cold environments, periodically
warm the radio under your coat.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS: Maximum drain on
battery power occurs when transmitting. DO NOT
hold the Push-To-Talk switch down longer than
necessary during transmission intervals. DO NOT
reduce battery service life by attempting to power a
radio with a depleted battery; always charge
batteries overnight after each day of use.
VIBRATION/ SHOCK: Although your PATRIOT Plus
radio is designed to be rugged, it will not survive
excessive abuse. Avoid dropping the radio.
NOTE: The optional MHX-A holster provides added
protection from weather and shock.
