PRECAUTIONS
The applicable standards listed above do not assure that the
●
transceiver can be used in water. The transceiver may be damaged in
a situation in which the maximum depth is over 1 meter or the maximum
submersion time exceeds 2 hours.
Observe the following precautions to maintain the transceiver's water-
●
resistant performance:
a) Do not drop or apply strong physical shocks to the transceiver.
b) Do not disassemble or attempt to modify the transceiver. (If it is
disassembled or modified, its performance is not guaranteed.)
c) Do not soak the transceiver in water that contains a solvent or
surfactant, such as detergent or alcohol.
If it is soaked in muddy water or salt water (including sea water), it may
●
become corroded. Immediately flush with fresh water and then wipe
dry with a soft cloth.
If water is splashed onto the microphone, the battery, or the antenna
●
terminal, clean and dry them with a soft cloth before reconnecting to
the transceiver.
When water gets into the microphone opening or the speaker grill, the voice
●
level may become low or distorted. Lightly shake the transceiver to remove the
water from the speaker and/or microphone before operating the transceiver.
Use of any option on the transceiver not specified by KENWOOD, may
●
reduce or void the water resistant and dust resistant performance.
