Handling Precautions
The Andorra Portables radio meets IP55 specifications with
antenna attached, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field
conditions such as being used in rain or dusty environment.
• If the radio has been exposed to water or rain, shake the
radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the
speaker grille, microphone port and aesthetic cover(if
applicable). Trapped water in speaker grille and microphone
port could cause decreased audio performance. If aesthetic
cover is attached onto radio, trapped water in aesthetic cover
could cause corrosion on the slim connector interface gold
contacts.
• If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to water,
clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio and the
battery before attaching the battery to the radio. The residual
water could short-circuit the radio.
• If the radio has been exposed to corrosive substance
(e.g.saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water then
dry the radio and battery.
• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a diluted
solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water (i.e.
one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).
• The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to be
protected against dust and low pressure jets of water
projected with nozzle 6.3mm diameter at flow rate of 12.5 l/
min, with water pressure at 30 kN/m2 and from a distance of
2.5m to 3m for at least 3 min. Exceeding either maximum limit
or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio.
• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet spray
on the radio as this may cause to leak.
Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Radio maintenance should only be
done in service depot that is equipped to test
and replace the seal on the radio.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic
purposes:
PTT
Button
• While a call is in progress, the PTT button allows the radio to
transmit to other radios in the call.
Press and hold down PTT button to talk. Release the PTT
button to listen.
The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed.
• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make
a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 22).
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 61) or the PTT Sidetone is enabled, wait
until the short alert tone ends before talking.
During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you
will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the
radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your
call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an
Emergency Call.
You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone or the
PTT Sidetone by disabling all radio tones and alerts
(see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on
page 60).
