BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your radio operates with either a NiMH battery pack
or 3 AAA alkaline batteries. The belt clip should be
removed (see below) to ease installation or removal of
the batteries.
To install the batteries:
1. With the back of the radio facing you, remove the
belt clip for easy access; then, remove the battery
cover by pressing down on the top center and
sliding it down from the radio. (See Figure 1)
2. Insert NiMH battery pack or 3 AAA batteries,
observing the polarity. Installing the batteries
incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating or
may damage the unit.
3. Return the battery cover by sliding it up on the radio.
Replace the belt clip, making sure it locks into place.
(See Figure 2)
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP
To install the belt clip, slide the clip down into the slot
on the back of the radio until the belt clip latch clicks.
To remove the belt clip, pull the lock tab away from the
radio, then gently pull the belt clip up toward the top of
the radio. (See Figure 2)
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your radios are equipped for using a rechargeable
NiMH battery pack (BATT3R) which can be recharged
by inserting one end of the USB Cable into a USB power
source, and the other end into the radio USB charging
jack, or with the optional desktop charger (as described
below). While charging, the battery meter will flash
from 1 to 3 bars. The LCD display will show FULL when
charging is complete. For maximum battery life, charge
the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on.
Remove the radios from the charger when charging is
finished.
NOTE: In order to ensure that the battery pack
is fully charged, it is recommended that the
battery pack be charged with the radio turned
off.
CAUTION! Only use the approved NiMH battery
pack.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to charge alkaline
batteries or any batteries or battery packs
other than the one indicated in the manual.
This may cause leakage and damage to the
radio.
CAUTION! For long term storage of the radio,
turn the radio off and remove the batteries
from the radio.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your radio has a battery level meter icon
that
shows the battery power level. The greater the number
of bars visible, the stronger the battery level. When
the battery level is low, the battery shell icon
and "bt Lo" will flash in the display indicating your
batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a
rechargeable battery pack.
