end of the charger into a standard 
AC outlet.

When

 appears, recharge the 

battery pack.

To detach the battery pack, push up 
the arrow key on the side of the 
transceiver, then slide the battery pack 
away from the arrow key.

CONNECTING THE 
ANTENNA

Align the slots around 
the antenna’s connector 
with the tabs on the 
antenna jack. Press the 
antenna down over the 
jack and turn the 
antenna’s base 
clockwise until it locks 
into place.

USING THE 
BELT CLIP

The supplied 
belt clip lets you 
easily attach the 
transceiver to 
your belt. 

To attach the 
belt clip, slide 

the belt clip down onto the plastic tab.

To detach the belt clip, lift up the tab 
and slide off the clip.

Using an External Speaker/
Microphone

An external speaker/microphone lets 
you use the transceiver while it is 
clipped to your belt, without lifting it to 
your mouth to transmit. Lift up the 
rubber cover on the 

MIC

 and 

SPK

 

jacks. Connect an optional speaker/
microphone with a 

3

/

32

 inch mini-plug 

and a 

1

/

8

 inch plug to the 

MIC

 and 

SPK

 

jacks on the side of the transceiver. 
This automatically disconnects the 
transceiver’s built-in speaker and 
microphone.

CONNECTING AN 
EARPHONE/EXTERNAL 
SPEAKER

To listen privately (or to hear more 
clearly in a noisy area such as a 
warehouse) you can connect an 
earphone or an external speaker. Lift 
the rubber cover off the 

MIC

 and 

SPK

 

jacks on the side of the transceiver, 
then plug an optional earphone or 
external speaker with a 

1

/

8

 inch plug 

into the 

SPK

 jack. This automatically 

disconnects the built-in speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these 
guidelines when you use an earphone.

• Set the volume to the lowest 

setting before you begin listening. 
After you begin listening, adjust 
the volume to a comfortable level.
