• Elastomer seals used in portable radios can age
with time and environmental exposure.
Therefore, Motorola Solutions recommends that
radios be checked annually as a preventive
measure in order to assure the waterseal
integrity of the radio. Motorola Solutions details
the disassembly, test, and reassembly
procedures along with necessary test equipment
in the radio service manual.
• If the radio battery contact recess is exposed to
water without the battery attached, dry and clean
the radio battery contacts before attaching a
battery to the radio. Turn the radio over with the
battery contact recess facing down and shake
the radio so any trapped water can escape. The
battery contacts must be dry before attaching a
battery or a short circuit of the contacts could
occur.
• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of
liquids. Do not submerge the radio unless it is
ruggedized.
• Accessory connector cover must be attached to
the radio side accessory connector if an
accessory is not attached to the radio.

• If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high
force water spray, such as from a hose, remove
the side accessory connector or accessory
connector cover immediately and check to make
sure no water was forced into the accessory
connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area
and re-attach the accessory or accessory
connector cover if leakage occurs.
• If the radio is exposed to a corrosive
environment, such as salt water or corrosive
gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio
immediately to prevent damage to radio
materials, especially plated surfaces. Refer to
Cleaning Your Radio on page 23
instructions. Remove the battery and the
antenna before cleaning if exposed to corrosive
environments.
• 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
