REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

Follow these steps to install or replace the battery pack.

1.  Slide the battery pack release button, as indicated, while you slide
    off the battery pack.

2.  Slide on the new battery pack.

CAUTION:  Do not place the battery pack on a conductive surface so the
          positive and negative terminals make contact.

NOTE:  If the BATT LOW indicator lights, replace or recharge your
       transceiver's battery pack.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The supplied battery pack comes fully discharged.  You need to fully
charge the battery pack using the supplied charger before you operate the
transceiver.  You can charge the battery pack on or off the transceiver.

WARNING:  Do not operate the transceiver while you charge the battery
          pack.

NOTE:  You may purchase a second battery pack so you can use one while you
       charge the other.

Follow these steps to charge the battery pack.

1.  Turn off the transceiver.  You can disconnect the battery pack or
    leave it on.

2.  Plug the supplied charger's barrel plug into the battery pack's CHARGE
    jack.

3.  Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet.  The CHARGE indicator
    lights.

NOTES:  It takes about 16 to 18 hours to fully charge the battery pack.

        For maximum power, use the transceiver until the BATT LOW
        indicator lights.  Then fully recharge the battery pack.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA

Your transceiver includes a flexible antenna that is ideal for
transmitting and receiving.  Before you use the transceiver, screw the
antenna into the transceiver's antenna socket.

CAUTION:  Never try to transmit without the antenna.  You might damage the
          transceiver.

NOTE:  The transceiver also comes with an adapter that lets you use an
       antenna with a BNC connector.

EXT MIC/SPEAKER JACKS

In a noisy area, an external speaker positioned in the right place might
provide more comfortable listening.  Your local Radio Shack store sells an
extension speaker (Cat. No. 21-549) and an amplified communications
extension speaker (Cat. No. 21-541) just right for this purpose.

For the most efficient operation when you carry the transceiver on your
belt, connect a combination speaker/microphone (such as Cat. No. 19-310)
to your transceiver and hang the mic/speakers on your collar.

Follow these steps to use an external microphone or speaker.

1.  Remove the EXT MIC/SPEAKER jack's cover.

2.  Plug the external microphone into the transceiver's EXT MIC jack or
    plug the speaker into the transceiver's SPEAKER jack.
