Chapter 2
Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care ensure efficient operation and long-life of the product.
CAUTION: Use the radio according to the following recommendations and warnings.
•
Your radio casing has a vent port for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with
objects such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers.
•
Never obstruct or cover the vent port, even with a label.
•
Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent port.
•
Your radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of six feet and maximum time of two
hours. Exceeding either maximum limit can result in damage to the radio.
•
Elastomer seals used in portable radios age with time and environmental exposure. To ensure the
waterseal integrity of the radio, Motorola Solutions recommends that radios be checked annually
as a preventive measure. The disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary
test equipment are available in the Service Manual.
•
If the radio battery contacts are 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 facing down and shake the radio so any trapped water can escape. A short circuit of the
contacts could occur if they are not dried properly.
•
If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio to remove any water that is trapped
inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Otherwise, the water decreases the audio quality of
the radio.
•
If an accessory is not attached to the radio, ensure that the accessory connector cover is attached
to the radio side accessory connector.
•
If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high force water spray, such as from a hose, remove
the accessory or accessory connector cover immediately and ensure that no water is forced into
the accessory connector or radio interface. Rinse and dry the area and reattach 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. Remove the battery and the antenna before cleaning.
•
Do not disassemble the radio as you could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the
radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.
•
Only Underwriter Laboratory (UL) approved service centers can open and service UL certified
radios. Opening or repairing at unauthorized locations invalidates hazardous location rating of the
radio.
•
Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily.
•
Turn off the radio when charging the radio using a wall-mounted charger. Otherwise, the Fall Alert
and Emergency may be accidentally triggered.
•
When cleaning the radio, do not use a high-pressure jet spray as this can exceed the depth
pressure and cause water to leak into the radio.
