Before repairing any leak, first read all of the steps within the applicable section. This will help to
eliminate unnecessary disassembly and reassembly of a radio with multiple leaks.
NOTE: All disassembly and reassembly methods can be found in

• If leak occurs at one or more of the seal interfaces, disassemble the component(s) and inspect
the interfaces to determine if there is any damage. If no damage is observed,
re-assemble the radio as directed.
• If damage has occurred, replacement parts will be needed.

• If leak occurs due to damage to the Battery Contact Seal (43), it will need to be replaced.
