INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over
the entire frequency range of the transceiver.
However, for enhanced based station medium-
wave and shortwave reception, you may wish to
connect an external antenna, as the supplied
antenna is very small and can not be expected to
provide high performance at these frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom
end of the antenna and screw it onto the mating
connector on the transceiver until it is snug. Do
not over-tighten by use of extreme force. (See
PIC 1)
Note:
Never transmit without having an antenna
connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold
the upper part of antenna while screwing it onto
the mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission,
ensure that the SWR presented to the transceiver
is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feed line loss.
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
If necessary, install the belt clip into the location
on the back of the battery. (See PIC 2)
Note:
Do not use the glue to fasten the screw, while
installing the belt clip. Otherwise, the acrylic acid
of the glue may damage the battery panel.

BATTERY PACK INSTALLATION
The battery pack is a high-performance Li-ion battery providing high
capacity in a very compact package. Under normal use, the battery may
be used for approximately 400 charge cycles, after which operating time
may be expected to decrease. If you have an older battery that is displaying
diminished capacity, you should replace the battery with a new one.
Installation of the battery is easy and quick:
1.Slide the Battery Cover to the Unlock position and then slide the Battery
Cover toward the bottom to remove it.
2.Install the battery into the Battery Compartment.
3.Replace the Battery Cover and then slide the Battery Cover Latch into
the Lock position.
