7. Watch for any continous series of bubbles. A steady stream of bubbles indicate a sign of
leakage.

pinpoint the problem(s) to one (or more) of the following areas:
• Seal Interfaces
• Battery Contact Seal
• Front Housing, including the Top Bezel
•Chassis
9. Remove the radio from the water container and dry the radio thoroughly. Be especially careful
to dry the area around the vacuum Port and the battery contact seal area.
10. See Section 8.7.9..
Some accumulation of air may be entrapped in the main
housing which may cause a false diagnosis of a leak. Ensure
there is a steady stream of bubbles before concluding there is
a leak.
To avoid equipment damage, keep the area inside the Battery
contact pocket is dry before assembling battery.
