RADIO CARE

Before using the radio:
1. It is recommended the battery be charged. Please see section "4.1.4 US-
ING THE CD-38 CHARGER CRADLE" for details.
2. Insure the speaker microphone jack, antenna and battery are in place and
firmly tightened.
3. Care must be taken if the radio was dropped and a close inspection may
be needed to insure the radio case and gaskets are in adequate condition.
This is to keep the rubber switches and speaker grill clean and in top
operating condition after exposure to water: Clean the radio with fresh
water after exposure to salt water by rinsing the radio under a sink fau-
cet or by dunking the radio in a bucket of fresh water. After washing, use
a soft cloth and thoroughly dry all parts of the radio.
