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, do not transmit except in an emergency situation.
Doing so may cause further radio damage.
x You are responsible for continued FCC technical compliance of your radio.
x Arrange for periodic performance checks with your West Marine dealer.
