Radio Shack HTX-202 User Manual

Backup Battery
Your transceiver uses a lithium battery to keep stored options in memory when
you disconnect the transceiver from a power source. This battery should last 3
to 5 years, under normal conditions. When the transceiver frequently displays
ER1, the backup battery needs to be replaced.
Note: To clear the error, reset the transceiver. See ‘Resetting the Transceiver.”’
The backup battery is not user-serviceable. Take the transceiver to your focal Radio
Shack store to have the battery replaced by a Radio Shack repair center.
This product contains a rechargeable nickel cadmium (Lead acid) battery. At the
and of the battery’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Con-
tact your local, county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for in-
formation on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might
be available are: Municipal curb-side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers, recy-
cling collection centers, and mail-back programs.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Your transceiver comes with a flexible antenna. You must connect an antenna to your
transceiver before you transmit. The transceiver's BNC antenna connector makes
it easy to connect other types of antennas. Radio Shack stores sell a 5/8-wave
magnetic mount antenna for mobile operation (Cat. No. 19-210), a discone
antenna (Cat. No. 20-013), anda center-loaded telescoping whip antenna (Cat.
No. 20-006) that you can also use with your transceiver.
To use the supplied antenna, slip the
antenna’s connector over the BNC
jack and twist the antenna to lock it
in place.
To use an external antenna, if neces-
Sary, attach the appropriate connec-
tor adapter to the end of the antenna
cable. Then, slip the connector over
the BNC jack and twist the connec-
tor to lock it in place.
