Note: Charging time is 14 to 16
hours.
Cautions:
• To prevent permanent battery power
loss, never charge the batteries in
an area where the temperature is
above about 80°F. The charger
does not operate at all at tempera-
tures below 32°F or above 113°F.
• Never use any other charger to
recharge the transceiver’s battery
pack. This could permanently dam-
age your transceiver or the battery
pack.
Important: This transceiver uses a re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery
pack. At the end of the battery pack’s
useful life, it must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curbside collection,
drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recycling collec-
tion centers, and mail-back programs.
Checking the Battery Power
1. Rotate
VOL
clockwise until it clicks
to turn on the transceiver.
2. Press the push-to-talk button on the
left side of the transceiver. If
BUSY•TX/LO BATT lights red, there
is sufficient battery power for trans-
mission. If the indicator lights yellow,
you need to recharge the battery
pack.
Using the Belt Clip
The supplied belt clip lets you easily clip
the transceiver to your belt. Use a small
Phillips screwdriver to secure the clip to
the transceiver’s back with the supplied
screws and washers, then attach it to
your belt.
Using an Earphone
To listen privately or to hear better in a
noisy area, you can plug a monaural
earphone into the
EAR
jack on the top of
the transceiver. This automatically dis-
connects the speaker.
