Optional battery case (BP-226)
When using the optional battery case attached to the transceiver,

Then, install 5
×
AA (LR6) size alkaline batteries. (Fig.2)
• Install the alkaline batteries only.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
• Do not pin the ribbon under the batteries.
e
Close the cover by fitting in the direction of the arrow (
w
) first,
then check the latch is in place (
e
). (Fig.1)
• Be sure the gasket and the ribbon are set correctly, and do not pro-
trude from the battery case. (Fig.3)
CAUTION:
• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same
brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batter-
ies together.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery
terminals once a week.
• Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas
may cause them to rupture.
• Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the battery
case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it.
