Installing the Batteries
The PRB8060 radio system requires 4 AA alkaline batteries for operation. Many
drivers prefer alkaline batteries over rechargeable batteries finding it more convenient
to simply replace the batteries when depleted rather than taking the time to recharge.
To install the batteries:
Remove the battery door and install 4 AA batteries observing the polarity marked in
the battery compartment.
Replace the battery door.
