3. Charging the COM900BP Batteries
When a good battery is in the COMMUNICATOR and the power is on, the red light on
®
top of the unit will be lit. This light only indicates the power is on. It does not indicate
how much power is left in the battery. As a battery weakens during routine use, you will
hear “Low battery” in the earpiece, indicating the battery needs to be replaced. Typical
battery life with normal use is 8 to 10 hours.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, turn Communicator OFF before removing
batteries.
Installing and Removing Communicator Batteries:
!
Install a fully charged battery in the battery compartment with the arrow on the
battery pointing out as shown in Figure 16. Slide it into the tracks on both sides of
the compartment until its catch clicks securely in place.
!
To remove the battery from a Communicator, slide the battery latch open and push
the battery in the direction of the large arrow on the battery as shown in Figure 17.
