The Importance of Fresh Batteries
The batteries powering your device are crucial to performance. Choose premium quality batteries, and change them regularly to ensure optimum performance and sufficient power for the tasks at hand. By regularly checking and changing your batteries you will also avoid unanticipated battery failure when you need your radios most. Plus, it will also prevent damage from old batteries such as leakage and corrosion.
Avoid Water Exposure
It is best, even for “waterproof” two way radios, to avoid exposure to water, as even the best water-resistant and waterproof versions have their limits. Always keep your two way radios stored in safe, dry place when not in use.
Safe, Dry Storage
If your two way radio is always by your side, it is advisable to purchase a carrying case or holster to prevent damage if dropped or bumped against a potentially damaging surface. When your radios are not being used, store them safely in a clean, dry space safe from potential damage.
Dust, Debris, and Ventilation
Like other handheld devices, your two way radios need to be cleaned regularly to prevent dust, debris, and other contaminants from causing damage. Dusting and wiping your radios will keep debris from prohibiting proper function, particularly of the controls. As you know, your two way radios have vents to allow heat as well as air away from the critical internal workings, thus preventing overheating and damage. Keep vents clear of dust and debris to allow for proper ventilation of your radios.
