Package Contents

Upon opening the package, verify that all components are present and undamaged. The standard package includes:

• 6 x Intercom Belt Clips
• 12 x Screws (2 screws per clip for secure attachment)

Setup and Installation

Installing the ASHATA belt clip onto your compatible two-way radio is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for secure attachment:

1. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated screw holes on the back of your two-way radio where the belt clip is intended to be attached. These are typically two small, threaded holes.
2. Position the Clip: Align the screw holes on the belt clip with the mounting points on your radio. Ensure the clip is oriented correctly, with the clip mechanism facing outwards.
3. Insert Screws: Take two of the provided screws. Carefully insert one screw into each of the aligned holes.
4. Tighten Screws: Using a suitable small screwdriver (not included), gently tighten the screws. Do not overtighten, as this could strip the threads or damage the radio casing. Tighten until the clip is firmly secured and does not wobble.
5. Verify Security: Once tightened, gently tug on the belt clip to ensure it is securely fastened to the radio. It should not move or feel loose.

Operating Instructions

Once the belt clip is securely attached to your radio, you can utilize it for convenient carrying:

• Attaching to Belt/Pocket: Slide the radio, with the attached belt clip, onto your belt, waistband, or the edge of a pocket. The clip's spring mechanism will hold it firmly in place.
• Removing from Belt/Pocket: To remove the radio, simply lift it upwards, disengaging the clip from your belt or pocket.
• Secure Placement: Always ensure the clip is fully engaged with your clothing or gear to prevent the radio from accidentally falling.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your ASHATA belt clips, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the clips periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the ABS material.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the clips for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage, especially around the screw holes and the spring mechanism.
• Screw Tightness: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. If they feel loose, gently retighten them to prevent the clip from detaching.
• Storage: When not in use, store the clips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
