Section IV
Cleaning and Handling the Radio
Cleaning
Clean external surfaces of the radio with a mild detergent [other solutions,
such as solvents, may permanently damage the radio housing] and a stiff, non-
metallic, short-bristled brush. Apply the detergent solution sparingly with the
brush, being careful not to allow excess detergent to remain entrapped near con-
nectors and controls or in cracks and crevices. Do not submerse the radio in the
detergent solution. Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Clean all battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt, grease, or other
foreign material that may prevent good electrical connections.
Handling
• Avoid physical abuse; do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessar-
ily. Do not carry the radio by the antenna.
• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Never allow the radio to
become submersed.
•Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents, or spirits.
• Do not disassemble the radio in any way.
• Replacement radios will not be issued for those with obvious abuse and
damage.
