BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your radio operates with either a NiMH battery pack or optional 3 AAA alkaline batteries. The belt clip should be removed (see below) to ease the installation or removal of the batteries.
To install the batteries:
1. With the back of the radio facing you, remove the belt clip (see diagram below) for easy access, then remove the Battery Cover by pressing down on the top center and sliding it
down from the radio.
2. Insert NiMH battery pack or 3 AAA batteries observing the polarity as shown. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating or may damage the unit.
3. Return the Battery Cover by sliding it up on the radio. Replace the belt clip, making sure it locks into place.
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP
To install the BELT CLIP, slide the clip down into the slot on the back of the radio until the BELT CLIP LATCH clicks. To remove the BELT CLIP, pull the LOCK TAB away from the radio,
then gently pull the belt clip up toward the top of the radio.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your radios are equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack (BATT3R) which can be recharged by inserting one end of the USB Cable into a USB power source, and the other
end into the radio USB charging jack, or with the optional desktop charger (as described below). While charging, the Battery Meter will flash from 1 to 3 bars.
The LCD display will show FULL when charging is complete. For maximum battery life, Midland recommends charging the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on. Remove the
radios from the charger when the charging is finished.
To charge using the Desktop Charger:
