WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operat-

ing. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys, switches and control-

lers may become unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or

defective, carefully clean it with a soft, wet (fresh water)

cloth, then, dry it before operating.

The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the
