Battery Pack Installation and Removal

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. Care-
fully mate the battery’s four insertion slots with
their corresponding alignment tabs on the trans-
ceiver case, while tilting the Belt Clip outward.
Proper alignment occurs with the battery pack off-
set about 1/2 inch from the top edge of the battery
compartment.

Guide the pack on to the tabs with a slight inward
pressure, then slide the battery pack upward, un-
til it locks in place with a “

Click

.”

move any protective cases. Slide the Battery Pack
Latch on the bottom of the radio toward the front
panel while sliding the battery down about 1/2
inch. Then lift the battery out from the radio while
unfolding the Belt Clip.

2) Always use the FNB-V100LIEX Lithium-Ion
Battery.

Lithium-Ion packs, as they could explode if acci-
dentally short-circuited.
4) Battery Pack shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Low Battery Indication

As the battery discharges during use, the voltage
gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage
becomes to low, substitute a freshly charged battery
and recharge the depleted pack. The LED indicator
on the top of the radio will blink red when the bat-
tery voltage is low.
