Helpful Tips
Cleaning
To clean the external surfaces of your radio:
1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one
gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-
bristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get
entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the
radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or
grease.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and
microphone port can be removed. Otherwise,
the water will decrease the audio quality of the
radio.
• Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits
may permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent
solution.
