Radio Care
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.
Handling
• 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.
• 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.
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits 
may permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent 
solution.
