Radio Care

CAUTION:
• Your radio casting has a vent port that allows for
pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke
this vent with any objects, such as needles,
tweezers, or screwdrivers.This could create leak
paths into the radio and the radio's submergibility
will be lost.
• Your radio is designed to be submerged to a
maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum
submersion time of 2 hours. Exceeding either
maximum limit may result in damage to the
radio.

• Elastomer technology materials used for seals in
rugged portable radios can age with time and
environmental exposure. Therefore, Motorola
Solutions recommends that rugged radios be
checked annually as a preventive measure in
order to assure the watertight integrity of the
radio. Motorola Solutions details the
disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures
along with necessary test equipment needed to
inspect, maintain and troubleshoot radio seals in
the radio's service manual.
• If the radio battery contact area has been
submerged in water, dry and clean the radio
battery contacts before attaching a battery to the
radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the
radio.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone
port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will
decrease the audio quality of the radio.
• Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.
