Once a month, allow your radio to go completely dead and then charge it back up all the way-this helps to cycle the battery.
Always hold your radio with the antenna vertically up and down, it gives the best reception that way.
Use a leather or nylon case to protect your radio, many times these will save your radio from damage when it has been dropped.
Uusing "Stubby" antennas on radios will lose significant range.
Be sure to shut your radio off when charging.
If you are in a poor reception area, try moving around while you are receiving.
Keep your battery terminals clean a dirty terminals cause intermittent charging and operation.
Don't carry your portable radio by it's antenna, many radios have very small wires connected to the jacks which can be broken very easily.
Always speak directly into the front of the radio 1 to 2" away is optimum on most radios. This provides the best clarity.
Don't leave your portable out in the cold, or in a hot vehicle, it will cause reduced life on your battery. Some radios now also have an automatic power reduction feature in them to keep critical components from overheating, so a radio left in the sun may not work as well.
