Battery Pack Installation and Removal
U
To install the battery, hold the transceiver with your
left hand, so your palm is over the speaker and your
thumb is on the top of the belt clip. Insert the battery
pack into the battery compartment on the back of the
radio while tilting the Belt Clip outward, then close
the Battery Pack Latch until it locks in place with a
“Click.”

U
To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove
any protective cases. Open the Battery Pack latch on
the bottom of the radio, then slide the battery down-
ward and out from the radio while holding the Belt
Clip.
Caution!
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable Ni-
Cd packs, as they could explode if accidentally short-
circuited.
Low Battery Indication
U
As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradu-
ally becomes lower. When the battery voltage becomes
to low, substitute a freshly charged battery and recharge
the depleted pack. The
TX/BUSY indicator on the top
of the radio will blink red (on the VX-180, the “ ”
icon will appear on the LCD) when the battery voltage
is low.
U
Avoid recharging Ni-Cd batteries often with little use
between charges, as this can degrade the charge capac-
ity. We recommend that you carry an extra, fully-
charged pack with you so the operational battery may
be used until depletion (this “deep cycling” technique
promotes better long-term battery capacity).
