BATTERY INSTALLATION
BATTERY SAVER MODE
Your FR-230 has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend
the life of its batteries. After five seconds of inactivity, the FR-230
will switch to battery saver mode. While in battery saver mode, the
transceiver will remain ready to receive any incoming transmissions.
A vertical bar on the display will flash dimly while the battery saver
mode is active. Pressing any of the buttons, except the up or down
buttons will exit the battery saver mode and illuminate the display.
CAUTION:
Your FR-230 requires four “AAA” alkaline cells or four
rechargeable “AAA” cells. Alkaline batteries will
provide the best performance from your transceiver.
Remove the battery cover by rotating the belt clip
away from the battery compartment. Slide the
battery cover downward while applying pressure
at the its grooved section. Observe the polarity
symbols inside the battery tray when installing the
batteries.
Incorrect battery installation can damage the unit.
The microphone / charger jack is intended for use with Audiovox
approved charging accessories only. Refer to the documentation
included with the battery charger.
Never attempt to charge alkaline batteries with the optional battery
charger.
