Chapter 2: Radio Care
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.
●
Periodic visual inspection and cleaning are recommended.
●
Check that the external surfaces of the radio and RSM are clean and that all external controls and
switches are functional.
●
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.
●
Do not engrave any surfaces of the radio or battery housing. Labels may be placed on the external
surfaces of the radio or battery. For additional marking needs, use a Sharpie pen on the chassis surface
in the battery compartment of the radio.
●
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.
