Installation

Batteries and charger

The radio is shipped with six rechargeable NiMH 

(Nickel-Metal Hydride) Batteries in the package. When 

your rechargeable Batteries begin to discharge too quickly, 

it is time to install new ones. It will also operate with 

six high quality alkaline Batteries.

Installing the batteries

1. Open the battery compartment by turning the 

screw counter-clockwise one-quarter (

1

4

) turn.

2. Slide the empty battery tray out of the radio.

3. Align the batteries with the slots in the battery 

tray and insert them. Be sure to match the polarity

markings on the batteries with those on the tray.

4. Slide the full battery tray into the radio. Be sure 

the seal is in its groove and not pinched between 

the tray and the body of the radio.

5. Turn the screw one-quarter (

1

4

) turn clockwise to 

lock the battery tray in place. 

After the NiMH batteries are installed in the radio, 

they will need to be charged before they can be used.

CAUTION

The gasket on the base of the battery pack is essential

for the radio to be waterproof. Be certain that it is not

dislodged and that it fits properly into the radio.

CAUTION

NiMH batteries are toxic. Please dispose of the 

old ones properly. Some marine suppliers accept 

old batteries for recycling and many municipal 

waste disposal agencies have special provisions 

for battery disposal.

Antenna installation

The flexible Antenna for the radio is shipped separately in 

the package and must be attached before you use the radio.

1. Align the base of the antenna with the socket in the 

top of the radio.

2. Screw it all the way into the socket. Be sure that 

the seal seats properly.

CAUTION 

Operating the radio without the antenna in place 

may damage the unit. The radio is not waterproof

until the antenna and battery pack are in place 

with their seals properly seated.

Wrist strap

Your radio comes with the Wrist Strap already attached. 

It can be easily removed if you choose not to use it.

Belt clip

Use the Belt Clip to carry your radio around with you.

1. Slide the clip onto your belt.

2. Insert the knob on the back of the radio into the 

channel on the back of the belt clip. You must 

have the radio upside-down, as shown, to insert 

or remove it from the belt clip.

the belt clip channel, the radio will swing freely 

while being securely retained.
