Removing the unit from a belt
When the soft case is attached to a belt with the unit’s
antenna pointing up, be careful to avoid getting the soft
case’s hook and loop fastener caught on the belt during
removal.
The hook and loop fastener may open if it gets caught on
the belt.
To avoid contact between the fastener and belt, tilt the
bottom of the soft case outward (Fig. 1) or rotate the case
to the left or right (Fig. 2) during removal.
