BATTERY PACK INSTRUCTIONS

For maximum power output and performance from the unit, we strongly recommend that you
only use "AA" NiMH rechargeable batteries in your battery pack. Due to the voltage rating
and power consumption of the radio, NiMH's deliver superior performance and life than
alkaline. These batteries are readily available from your radio dealer or other electronic
stores. While the radio will work with alkaline batteries, you will definitely not achieve full
transmit power or length of talk time on each set of batteries when compared to NiMH'. The
battery pack supplied with the radio is a slide on battery case that requires 9 "AA" size
batteries (preferably NiMH) To install the 9 batteries into the case, hold the pack in one hand,
while at the same time using your other hand to press down on the center tab (see
illustration). The pack will open into two distinct pieces, with polarity markings for batteries to
install on each side. Please pay attention to the polarity markings, as incorrect battery
installation can damage the radio.
IMPORTANT: When the batteries voltage become low, in addition to the "Battery Low"
indicator coming on the display, you will experience a BLANK DISPLAY when you press the
PTT button. This is due to the needed voltage being greater than the power you have left in
the battery pack. This "Blank Display" situation is a normal reaction to the batteries becoming
low. Please replace or re-charge to batteries immediately when these situations occur.
