After your radio is submerged in water, you might notice that the
sound is distorted. This is because there is still water remaining in and
around the speaker and microphone. Just shake the radio to clear
excess water, and the sound will return to normal.
If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean it thoroughly with fresh
water and dry it before turning it on.
