RECOMMENDATION

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH
WATER after exposure to saltwater. Otherwise, the transceiv-
er's keys, switches and controllers may become inoperable due
to salt crystallization.
NOTE: DO NOT wash the transceiver in water if there is any rea-
son to suspect the waterproofing may not be effective. For ex-
ample, in cases where the battery pack rubber seal is damaged,
the transceiver/battery pack is cracked or broken, or has been
dropped, or when the battery pack is detached from the trans-
ceiver.
