PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can operate your transceiver from any of three power sourc-
es:
• internal batteries
• AC power (using an optional power supply and DC adapter)
• vehicle battery power (using an optional DC adapter)
Using Internal Batteries
Your transceiver can use two AA batteries (not supplied) for pow-
er. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend Ra-
dioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom-
mended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable bat-
teries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Move the
LOCK
tab in the opposite direction of the arrow
marked on the bottom of the transceiver.
