CLEANING

Keep the exterior of the radio, battery, antenna, and radio accessories clean.
Periodically clean the radio using the following procedures:
1. To remove dust and dirt, clean using damp clean cloth (warm water and mild detergent soap
or Simple Green).
2. Follow by wiping with damp (warm water) clean cloth. Wipe dry with clean cloth.
3. Remove the battery and wipe the battery and radio contacts using a soft dry cloth to remove
dirt or grease. This will ensure efficient power transfer from the battery to the radio.
4. Remove any accessories and clean the UDC contacts using a clean dry cloth. When the UDC
is not in use, cover the connector with the protective dust cap to prevent the build-up of dust
or water particles.
5. If the radio is used in a harsh environment (such as driving rain, salt fog, etc.), it may be
necessary to periodically dry and clean the battery and radio contacts with a soft dry cloth or
soft-bristle non-metallic brush.
For more rigorous cleaning and disinfection, use the following procedure:
CAUTION
1. Apply the cleaning solution to a clean damp cloth and clean the radio.
NOTE
2. Wipe off the radio with clean damp cloth using mild warm soapy water.
3. Follow up by wiping off the radio with clean damp cloth using warm water only.
