This section of the manual describes preventive maintenance and handling
precautions. Each of these topics provides information vital to the successful
operation and maintenance of your radio.
The XTS 2500/2250/1500 radios do not require a scheduled preventive
maintenance program; however, periodic visual inspection and cleaning is
recommended.
Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external
controls and switches are functional. A detailed inspection of the interior electronic
circuitry is not needed.
The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the
methods to be used when cleaning the external surfaces of the radio. External
surfaces include the housing assembly and battery case. These surfaces should
be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of
smudges, grease, and/or grime.
The only recommended agent for cleaning the external radio surfaces is a 0.5%
solution of a mild dishwashing detergent, such as JOY
The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful
results on certain plastics. Aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and
other chemicals should be avoided.
C a u t i o n
The detergent-water solution should be applied sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic,
short-bristled brush to work all loose dirt away from the radio. A soft, absorbent,
lintless cloth or tissue should be used to remove the solution and dry the radio.
Make sure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or
crevices.
