Disassembly - Kenwood NX-5300 Service Manual

3.1 Precautions for Waterproof
• Do not remove the black sheet from the reverse side of the
transceiver (refer to the illustration below). Removal of this
sheet decreases the waterproof efficiency of the transceiver
and may cause malfunctions if water seeps into the transceiv-
er.
• The orange packing material on the reverse side of the trans-
ceiver is important with respect to the waterproof efficiency of
the transceiver. Do not place stickers or other materials on or
around the packing material shown in the figure, or on the re-
verse side of the battery pack. Doing so will impair the water-
proof efficiency of the transceiver and may cause it to break
down. Additionally, in order to prevent damage to the packing
material, do not allow it to come in contact with foreign materi-
als.
