appears on the display. The radio emits a long,
low-pitched beep and then turns off. Turn off the radio.
Inserting the Radio into the Vehicle Charger
1. Place the radio in the charger with the battery attached.
When the portable radio is used inside a vehicle, radio performance is degraded.
Use a mobile radio for all critical communications. If the portable radio must be left
switched on while it is in the charger, removing the radio from the charger will
improve radio performance. Check your local regulations about using a portable
radio in a vehicle.
2. Firmly press the retention bar towards the radio.
If the larger battery is attached to the radio, there will be an audible click as the catches engage. If the
smaller battery is attached to the radio, there will be two audible clicks as the catches engage. If the
catches do not engage, remove the radio. Press once firmly on the release bar, then try again.
