INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

Note:

Because the battery pack is provided uncharged, you must charge the battery pack

before using it with the transceiver. To charge the battery pack, refer to “CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK ” {page 3}.

To install the battery pack, align the base of the

battery pack with the transceiver, then press
the battery pack into place until the lock lever is
secure.

To remove the battery pack, push the lock lever

up, then pull the battery pack away from the
transceiver.

INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP

If desired, you can install the supplied belt clip to the transceiver.

Remove the battery pack, as described above.

To install the belt clip, align the guides of the

belt clip with the grooves on the rear of the
battery pack, then slide the belt clip into place
until the lock lever is secure.

To remove the belt clip, push the lock lever
