pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
Rotate the [VOL] knob clockwise to turn the power ON.

The password is made up of a four-digit code (e.g. 1234, 5420
etc). Push the corresponding buttons to enter your password.
Please note that each key represents two digits, meaning
that, for example, the passwords 3764 and 8769 are entered
in exactly the same way (i.e. no multiple or extended push-
ing required). When entering the password, no information
will be displayed on screen. If, after inputting four digits, the
“PASSWD” does not disappear, the password entered is in-
correct. To try again, turn the power OFF and ON again.
Battery type
■
The transceiver can be used with the supplied Li-ion battery
pack or the optional battery case with third party AA batter-
ies. In order to maximise the transceiver’s effectiveness, it is
important that the transceiver is switched to the appropriate
mode before operation.
To do this:
Ensure the transceiver power is OFF.
