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.

When using high audio, hold your radio vertically with the top microphone 5â€“10 cm away from your mouth.
Speak into the top microphone.
Listen through the speaker.
Keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm away from your head and body.

When using low audio, hold your radio as you would a telephone.
Speak into the bottom microphone.
Listen through the earpiece.
Keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm away from your head and body.
