RECOMMENDATION
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY IN A BOWL OF
FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before
operating. Otherwise, the transceiver’s keys, switches, and
controllers may become unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or
the charging terminals of the battery pack may corrode.
NOTE: If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears
defective, carefully clean the transceiver with a soft, damp (fresh
water) cloth, then dry it before operating. The transceiver may
lose its waterproof protection if the case, jack cap, or connector
cover is cracked or broken, or the transceiver has been dropped.
Contact your Icom distributor or your dealer for advice.
