174 Troubleshooting
General care
The only radio maintenance required is ensuring the
battery has sufficient charge and that the antenna and
battery are not damaged.
Notice To prevent permanent damage to the radio
case, do not allow the radio to come into contact with
detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays, or petroleum-
based products.
For general battery care, see "Maintaining battery life
and performance".
Cleaning the radio
Notice Risk of permanent damage to the radio
housing! Do not clean the radio with solvents or
alcohol based products. This includes (but is not
limited to) ethylene glycol (antifreeze), propanone
(acetone), ethanol (methylated spirits), isopropyl
alcohol, and pool chlorine (calcium hypochlorite).
To clean the radio:
1 Use a lint-free, dry cloth to remove surface dirt, oil,
or grease.
2 Use an alcohol-free, antibacterial wipe to disinfect
the radio.
Notice Risk of internal damage! To avoid damaging
the inside of the radio, do not allow excess liquid to
enter the radio body (speaker grille, keypad, buttons,
and connectors).
3 Use a water-dampened, lint-free, microfibre cloth
to remove any remaining dirt.
4 If the damp cloth is ineffective, dilute a (5 to 10%)
solution of alcohol-free dishwashing liquid in clean
water, on a cloth, to remove remaining dirt.
Caution Health risk! Always use protective
equipment (gloves, face mask) when handling bleach.
