When you are finished serving please clean your earpiece off for the next person, wrap it up and place it neatly back in the box. For the radios, turn off the volume button and place back in the charger. Make sure to put it all the way back where the batteries rub together and the orange charge light comes on. This is very important; otherwise the batteries will go dead, no bueno!
