RECOMMENDATION

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH
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.
NOTE: DO NOT submerge the transceiver in water if there is
any reason to suspect the waterproof protection may not be
effective. For example, in cases where the [SP/MIC] jack cap
or [DC] connector cover seal is damaged, the transceiver/
[DC] connector cover is cracked or broken, or the transceiver
has been dropped, or when the antenna or DC connector
cover is detached from the transceiver.
