RADIO CARE
Before using the radio:
1. It is recommended to fully charge the battery. See section “ 6.1.4 Using
the SBH-12 Charger Cradle” for details.
2. Be sure that the speaker microphone cap, antenna and battery are in place
and firmly tightened.
3. Care must be taken if the radio was dropped and a close inspection may
be needed to insure the radio case and gaskets are in adequate condition.
NOTE
To keep the LCD, keypad and speaker grill clean and in top operating
condition after exposure to water: Clean the radio with fresh water after
exposure to salt water by rinsing the radio under a sink faucet or by
dunking the radio in a bucket of fresh water. After washing, use a soft
cloth and thoroughly dry all parts of the radio.
