Battery Charging and Care
The Ni-Cad battery pack must be fully charged (or new
Alkaline batteries inserted into the alkaline battery pack
shell) to obtain maximum performance from your radio.
A desktop charger is provided with the GMRS-21X radio.
You can charge the provided Ni-Cad battery pack while
attached to the radio in the front charging slot, or the
Ni-Cad battery alone in the rear charging slot. The charging
cycle is overnight (12-16 hours). While charging in either
slot a solid red LED will appear on the charger base.
NOTE:
Charge only the provided Ni-Cad battery pack.
To receive maximum performance from your radio and
Ni-Cad battery, periodically discharge the pack completely
and then recharge it.
Antenna Installation
Fasten the antenna to the radio by turning the antenna
clockwise into the receptacle on top of the radio until
firmly seated. Do not overtighten.
Installing and Removing a Battery Pack
To load fresh Alkaline batteries into the alkaline battery
shell, slide the internal holding clip toward the end of the
shell and remove it. Load 4 new "AA" Alkaline batteries,
following the polarity diagram embossed in the shell base.
Realign the holding clip along the shell sides and reposi-
tion to hold the batteries securely.
