INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE (OPTIONAL) BATTERY PACK OR
BATTERY CASE
1 Align the battery pack with the
back of the transceiver, then
press the battery pack and
transceiver firmly together until
the release latch clicks, locking it
in place.
2 Lock the safety catch into place
to prevent accidentally pressing
the release latch and removing
the battery.
3 To remove the battery pack, lift
the safety catch on the base of
the transceiver, then press the
release latch underneath the
safety catch while pulling the
battery pack away from the
transceiver.
Note:
◆ To lift the battery pack safety catch, use a piece of hardened
plastic or metal, such as a screwdriver, that is no more than 6 mm
wide and 1 mm thick. It is imperative that you place the
implement under only the lip of the safety catch so that you do
not damage the release latch.
◆ Before charging a battery pack that is attached to the transceiver,
ensure that the safety catch is firmly closed.
◆ While operating the transceiver using a Li-ion or Ni-MH battery
pack in areas with an ambient temperature of –10°C/ +14°F and
lower, operating time may be shortened.
