2. With the back of the radio facing you, push the latch on
battery cover to the left to unlock the battery cover.
3. For NiMH battery pack, insert the battery pack by
following the instruction on the battery pack. Observe the
polarity. For AA alkaline batteries, insert the batteries and
observe polarity.
4. The ribbon should be underneath the battery pack or
batteries and must wrap around the right side of the pack
or batteries for easy removal.
5. Close the battery cover and push the latch to the right to
lock the battery cover.

0–3)
shown indicates the charge remaining in the battery.
When the radio battery meter shows one segment
left, the radio chirps periodically or after releasing
the PTT button (Low Battery Alert).
Battery Capacity Maintenance

not in use. After longer lapse, the start of charging in
