CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH
FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry
it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys,
switches and controllers may become unusable due to
salt crystallization.

you suspect the waterproof protection may not be ef-
fective, especially after one of the following:
• The transceiver has been dropped
• The transceiver's case or the waterproof seal is
cracked or damaged
• he jack cover or the optional HM-168LWP is de- T
tached from the transceiver
