RECOMMENDATION

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY IN A BOWL
OF FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry
it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys,
switches, and controllers may become unusable, due to salt
crystallization, and/or the charging terminals of the battery
pack may corrode.
NOTE: If the transceiver's waterproof protection appears
defective, carefully clean it with a soft, damp (fresh water)
cloth, then dry it before operating.
The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the
case, jack cap, or connector cover is cracked or broken,
the transceiver has been dropped, or the battery pack is
detached.
Contact your Icom distributor or your dealer for advice.
