Battery Installation and Removal
1. Make sure your radio is
turned off.
Removing the battery
while the radio is on will
no longer erase the
encryption keys.
2. Hold the radio in your hand
with the back of the radio facing
up and slide the battery latch toward the top of the radio with your
thumb.
3. While holding the battery latch, slide the battery pack away from you
until it clears the radio.
4. To replace the battery, hold the radio in one hand. With the other hand,
slide the battery onto the radio’s baseplate and toward the latch until it
“clicks” into place.
Batteries are shipped uncharged; they must be charged before use.
Refer to the “Battery Charging and Disposal” section on page 71.
WARNING
To avoid a possible explosion:
DO NOT replace the battery in an area labeled “hazardous atmosphere.”
DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.
CAUTION
If your radio is programmed with volatile-key retention (consult your
service technician), encryption keys will be retained for approximately
30 seconds after battery removal.
