Caring for Your Radio

•
The XTS 5000 radio casting has two vent ports
!
that allow for pressure equalization in the radio.
Never poke these vents with any objects, such
a u t i o n
as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This
could create leak paths into the radio and the
radio's submergibility will be lost.
•
(For XTS 5000 R Radios Only)
The XTS 5000 R radio is designed to be
submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet, with a
maximum submersion time of 4 hours.
Exceeding either maximum limit may result in
damage to the radio.
•
(For XTS 5000 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.
