Battery Installation and Removal.
The VHF5 (models A and C) uses 8 AA
Alkaline batteries to power the radio. These
batteries (not included) are installed in the
battery pack at the bottom of the radio.
To install new batteries, move the Battery
Release button up, and slide the battery
pack off as shown in the illustration. Using
your finger, disengage the snap lock feature
on the top of the battery pack, and gently
separate the battery pack into two halves.
Install four new batteries in each half of the
battery pack. Assure the positive and negative orientation of
the batteries match the engraving on the inside of the bat-
tery back. To reassemble the battery pack, first mate the
two halves together at the bottom and then snap shut.
Slide the battery pack onto the radio. When the battery is
low, a battery icon appears on the LCD. The battery pack
can be charged on or off the VHF5 unit.
Note: For longest battery life use only new Alkaline
batteries. Battery life varies greatly by brand and
length of time the radio is used for transmitting and
receiving.
