Keypad Lock
The radio keypad can be locked to prevent
accidentally pressing keys while in a pocket etc.
To lock the keypad, press and hold the
Hi/
Lo
key. The radio will beep twice and any
key pressed will not function - LOCK will
appear in the display.
To disengage keypad lock, press and hold
Hi/Lo
again.
Note that the PTT key will still function when
the keypad lock is on, allowing transmission
and receiving as normal.
Removing and
Attaching Battery
The radio has two battery options - an
850mAh NiCa or a non rechargeable Lithium
battery that is capable of providing sufficient
power for the specified 8 hours according to
regulations.
To remove the battery, lift the two locking
clips holding the battery pack in place. When
reattaching, ensure the three locating pegs
on the top of the battery are located into the
slots in the radio and that the two locking
clips have both engaged.
The set is fully waterproof even with the
battery removed, but it is recommended that
any moisture on the top of the battery or in
the battery compartment is wiped clear
before attaching to prevent the water
creating a conductive path between the
contacts and reducing battery life.
Charger Options
The radio can be supplied with a 12V
standard charger that will accept the whole
radio, or the battery alone. The standard
charger runs from a standard 12V supply
(10.5V-16V), or from AC mains with an
appropriate optional adapter / power supply.
Charging with the standard charger takes
approximately 14-16 hours. There is also a
fast charger available which will charge the
battery within 1 1/2 hours.
