Cleaning Your Radio
CAUTION: Do not use solvents or disinfectants to clean your radio as these chemicals may
permanently damage the radio housing, seals, and adhesives.
To clean the external surfaces of your radio, perform the following:
Procedure:
1. Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2. Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure that excess
detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls, or crevices.
3. Rinse and then dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
4. Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.
2.2
High Debris Environments
For high debris environments, additional cleaning steps may be needed to maintain optimal radio
performance.
Excessive debris in the speaker grill or microphone area may cause poor or degraded audio quality.
Excessive debris in or around the functions buttons or control knobs, may cause inconsistent operation
or controls.
2.3
Disinfecting Your Radio
Procedure:
1. To disinfect your radio, wipe down the radio with over-the-counter isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
with 70%–95% isopropyl alcohol solution (alcohol and water).
2. When cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, the alcohol should never be applied directly to the radio. It
should be applied to a cloth, which is then used to gently wipe down the radio.
