Looking After Your Radio

Never leave your radio or battery in extreme temperatures (over +85 °C).
For example, behind a windscreen in direct sunlight.
The radio is submersible (compliant with the IP68 standard), but only with the battery and antenna attached.
To clean your radio, use a moistened or antistatic cloth.
Ensure no contamination is on the gore port membrane, that is the area labelled as VENT on the back of the radio chassis.

Holding Your Radio

The radio has three microphones:

• A top front microphone for Simplex group, dispatcher, or private calls.
• A top back microphone for optional noise cancellation.
• A bottom microphone for Duplex, telephone-like calls.
