Radio Care 
•Cleaning 
Clean external surfaces of your radio with the following solution: one 
teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% 
solution).
Apply the detergent solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled 
brush, being careful not to allow excess detergent to remain entrapped near 
connectors 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 
unnecessarily. 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.
•Keep the accessory-connector cover in place until ready to use the 
accessory connector. Replace the cover immediately after the 
accessory has been disconnected. 
CAUTION 
Do not use solvents to clean your radio; spirits may be 
harmful and permanently damage the radio housing.
