NSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire fre-
quency range of the transceiver. However, for enhanced recep-
tion on certain non-Amateur frequencies, you may wish to con-
nect an antenna designed specifically for that frequency range,
as the supplied antenna is necessarily a compromise outside the
Amateur bands, and cannot be expected to provide high perfor-
mance at all frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the an-
tenna, then screw it onto the mating connector on the transceiver
until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the
upper
part of the antenna while
screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the
transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss.

The
FNB-83
is a high-performance Ni-MH battery providing high capacity in a compact
package. Under normal use, the
FNB-83
may be used for approximately 300 charge cycles,
after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery pack
which is displaying capacity which has become diminished, you should replace the pack
with a new one.
Installation of the battery is easy and quick:
Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the back of the
radio while tilting the Belt Clip outward, then close the
Battery Pack Latch until it locks in place
with a “Click.”
To remove the
battery, turn the
radio off and re-
move any pro-
tective cases.
Open the Bat-
tery Pack Latch
on the bottom of the radio, then slide the battery downward and out from the radio
while tilting the Belt Clip out of the way.
