Cleaning Your Radio
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.
Handling Your Radio
• Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. Never
carry the radio by the antenna.
• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not
submerge the radio unless it is a ruggedized, XTS 5000 R
model.
• Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents or spirits.
• Do not disassemble the radio.
• Keep the accessory-connector cover in place until ready to
use the connector. Replace the cover immediately once the
accessory has been disconnected.
• If the radio battery contact area has been
submerged in water, dry and clean the radio
battery contacts before attaching a battery to the
radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit
the radio.
• 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.

Caution
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits
may permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent
solution.
