BATTERY PACK

NOTE: Before removing the battery pack, make sure that the radio power is turned off. Turning power off in the 
normal manner saves the current settings in memory (such as selected system/group, scan on-off, and the scan 
list). If the battery pack is removed with power on, memory loss and unpredictable radio operation may result.
