TO INSTALL BATTERY
Place the battery bottom about 1 to 2 cm
below the bottom of the radio's body.
Make sure the battery is in parallel and in
good contact with the aluminium chassis.
Align the battery with the guide rails on the
aluminium chassis and slide it upwards until
a 'click' is heard.
TO REMOVE BATTERY
Turn off the radio before removing the
battery. Press the battery tab under the
radio and slide the battery in the direction
indicated by the arrows.
Slide down the battery for about 1 to 2
centimetres, and then remove the battery
from the radio's body.
Use only the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
WARNING: T
urn off the radio before
charging otherwise battery will not fully
charge.
Please follow these steps:
1. Plug the AC connector of the power pack
into the AC outlet socket.
2. Place the radio with the battery attached,
or the battery alone, in the charger.
3. Make sure the battery is in good contact
with the charging terminals. Allow 5
hours for the battery to charge.

BATTERY STORAGE:
1. Fully charge a battery before you store it
for a long time to avoid battery damage
due to over-discharge.
2. Recharge a battery after 6 months
storage to avoid battery capacity
reduction due to over-discharge.
3.
Store your battery in a cool and dry place
under room temperature to reduce self-
discharge.
Install the antenna as shown as below:
NOTE:
-
When installing the antenna,
don't rotate it by its top,. Hold it by its
base and turn clockwise. Don
’
t over
-
tighten.
If you use an external antenna, make
sure the 'SWR' is about 1.5:1 or less to
avoid damage to the transceiver's final
transistors.
NEVER TRANSMIT

1. When your radio battery is getting low a
voice prompt will indicate ‘Battery Low’.
2. When charging your battery, keep it at a
temperature between 5C and 40C.
Temperature out of the limit may cause
battery leakage or damage.
3. When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
4. Do not turn off the power supply or
remove the battery when charging a
battery.
5. Never charge a battery that is wet. Dry it
with a soft cloth prior to charging.
6. The battery will eventually wear out when
the operating time (talk-time and standby
time) is noticeably shorter than normal
performance. It is time to buy a new
battery.
INITIAL USE
New batteries are shipped uncharged from
the factory. Charge a new battery for 5 hours
before initial use. The maximum battery
capacity and performance is achieved after
three full charge/discharge cycles. If you
notice the battery power runs low, please
recharge the battery.
TO PROLONG BATTERY LIFE:
1. Battery performance will be greatly
decreased at a temperature below 0C . A
spare battery is necessary in cold
weather. A cold battery is unable to work
in this situation and will work when back
to room temperature.
2. Dust on the battery contacts may cause
the battery to not work or charge. Please
use a clean dry cloth to wipe them before
attaching the battery to the radio.
