Powering the transceiver
Your Tectalk Smart XL PMR 446 transceiver operates on four AAA
size rechargeable NIMH batteries. Non-Rechargeable Alkaline
batteries shall not be used because Alkaline batteries do not meet
the requirements for keeping the maximum output power more stable
for the whole operating time. The charging time is typically 12-15
hours. You can charge one or both radios at the same time with the
supplied desk charging cradle. It is also possible to charge one radio
by inserting the charge cable into the Charge / Headset socket.
Installation of the batteries
Battery installation is made more convenient when the belt clip is either
rotated left or right to the horizontal position or is removed. Simply
rotate the clip in either direction to the horizontal position. Be careful
not to use excessive force. To remove the clip press down on the
spring release tab and pull the clip straight out from the radio body.
