BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

BK Radio battery packs are available in a variety of sizes and types for
special applications. Rechargeable battery packs can be charged
separately or while attached to a radio.

NOTE:

For safety reasons, rechargeable battery packs are shipped

uncharged or only partially charged. Therefore, a rechargeable
battery pack should be properly charged before use.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Locate the center hub on the radio base
and place it in the recess of the battery
pack.

2. Position the battery pack at the 30° offset,

seating the two metal studs in their recess.

3. Apply upward pressure to the pack while

twisting the pack to its final (in line with the
radio) position. The metal tab will click,
locking the pack in position.
