Secure the dust cover to the radio by pushing the
latch upwards.
To remove the dust cover, push the latch downwards.
Lift up the cover and slide down the dust cover from
the universal connector to remove it.
Replace the dust cover when the universal connector
is not in use.
If the radio is exposed to water, dry the universal
connector before attaching an accessory or replacing
the dust cover.
If the radio is exposed to salt water or contaminants,
perform the following cleaning procedure.
1 Mix one tablespoon of mild dishwashing detergent
with one gallon of water to produce a 0.5 percent
solution.
2 Clean only the external surfaces of the radio with
the solution. Apply the solution sparingly with a
stiff, nonmetallic, short-bristled brush.
3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft and lint-free
cloth. Ensure the contact surface of the universal
connector is clean and dry.
4 Apply Deoxit Gold Cleaner or Lubricant Pen
(Manufacturer CAIG Labs, Part number G100P)
on the contact surface of the universal connector.
5 Attach an accessory to the universal connector to
test the connectivity.
Note:
Do not submerge the radio in water. Ensure
excess detergent does not get trapped in
between the universal connector, controls, or
crevices.
Clean the radio once a month for maintenance. For a
harsher environment such as in petrochemical plants
or in a high salt density marine environment, clean
the radio more often.
Attaching the Accessory Connector
The accessory connector is to be secured to the
universal connector on the antenna side of the radio.
