INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains information concerning the installation and programming of BK Radio GPH-
CMD radios.
2.1.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit for
evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the
shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with the
transportation company. It would be advisable to retain the container and packaging material after
all equipment has been removed in the event that equipment storage or reshipment should
become necessary.
2.1.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION
A. BK Radio battery packs are available in a variety of sizes and types for special applications.
Rechargeable battery packs can be charged separately or while attached to a radio.
NOTE: For safety reasons, rechargeable battery packs are shipped uncharged or only
partially charged. Therefore, a rechargeable battery pack should be properly charged
before use.
B. To install the battery, locate the center hub on the radio base and place it in the recess of the
battery pack. Position the pack approximately at a 30° offset, seating two metal studs in their
recess. Apply upward pressure to the pack while twisting the pack to its final (in line with the
radio) position. The metal tab will click, locking the pack in position.
C. To remove the battery pack, first turn the radio off. Then, as shown above, push up the metal
tab on the side of the case while twisting the battery pack approximately 30° and remove it
from the radio.
NOTE: All information programmed into the radio is maintained even when the battery pack
is removed.
D. Periodically check the contacts on the battery pack for dirt that may prevent a good electrical
contact with the charging base
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not drop a battery pack into fire.
An explosion may occur.
2.1.3 ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Insert the flexible helical-wound antenna into the radio's antenna connector and turn it clockwise
until it is firmly seated.
