Preparation
CHARGING THE
BATTERY PACK
The transceiver comes with an 8.4V,
1300mAH rechargeable Ni-MH battery
pack installed for power. Before you
use the battery pack for the first time,
you must use the supplied battery
charger to charge it for about 14-16
hours. After it is fully charged, the bat-
tery pack provides power to your trans-
ceiver for about 10 hours when you set
the transmission power to low, and
about 6 hours when you set the trans-
mission power to high.
You cannot use the transceiver while
you charge the battery pack.
Caution: Use only the supplied battery
charger, which is designed specifically
for your transceiver.
1. Turn
OFF/VOL
fully counterclock-
wise to
OFF
to turn the transceiver
off.
2. Pull out the rubber cover over
CHRG
on the side of the trans-
ceiver and insert the charger’s
barrel plug into the jack. Then plug
the other end of the charger into a
standard AC outlet.
When

on the display, recharge the battery
pack.
To detach the battery pack, push up
the arrow at the side of the transceiver,
then slide the battery pack off to the
right.
CONNECTING THE
ANTENNA

the antenna’s connector
with the tabs on the an-
tenna jack on top of the
transceiver. Press the
antenna down over the
jack and turn the anten-
na’s base clockwise un-
til it locks into place.

transceiver
to your belt.
