MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Due to its rugged design, your radio requires very little maintenance. However, it is a
precision electronic instrument, so you should follow a few precautions:
x If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit except in the case of an
emergency. A defective antenna may cause damage to your radio.
x You are responsible for continued FCC technical compliance of your radio.
x You should arrange for periodic performance checks with your dealer.
