45°C) and mild dish soap. Finish by rinsing with fresh water and drying.
10.1 Regular inspection
The lifetime of any equipment depends on how well you take care of it. The
Tron TR30 radio is constructed to endure in rough maritime environments.
Regular inspection is important to detect error symptoms and prevent
potentially serious problems.
To inspect, do the following:
1. Inspect the battery connection pins, the gasket and the
lock/release mechanism.
2. Inspect the housing for defects regularly. Defects can affect water
sealing.
3. Verify that the antenna and jack cover are assembled correctly, if
not the radio will not be waterproof.
10.2 Regular testing
It is important to perform regular testing of equipment to ensure proper
operation. This also ensures the radio is in good working order and
therefore, ready for use in a potential an emergency.
To test, do the following:
1. Use the rechargeable battery or test battery.
2. Turn the radio on and choose an appropriate channel.
Doc. No.: 87095 Rev. B jotron.com Page 57 of 72

12.4 Handling and storage
This product should be stored in a cool and well-ventilated area. Elevated
temperatures can result in a reduction of battery life. Locations that handle
large quantities of lithium batteries must ensure the batteries are isolated
from combustibles. A short circuit for a few seconds will not seriously affect
the battery. A prolonged short circuit will cause the battery to lose energy,
generate significant heat and can cause the safety release vent to open.
The contents of an open battery, including a vented battery, when exposed
to water, may result in a fire and/or explosion. Crushed or damaged
batteries may result in a fire. A battery that is disassembled or exposed to
water, fire or high temperatures can explode or leak causing burns.
