Radio Shack HTX-202 User Manual

Note: Nickel-cadmium batteries deliver more power if you occasionally let them
completely discharge. To do this, use the transceiver until BATT appears on
the display when you press PTT. Then, fully charge the batteries. If you do not
occasionaily do this, the batteries can temporarily lose the ability to deliver full
power. Also, to ensure a full charge, be sure the batteries are at room tempera-
ture {above 65°F) when you charge them. Cald batteries do not fully charge.
Cautions:
« To prevent permanent nickel-cadmium power loss, never charge the power pack
in an area where the temperature is above about 80°F.
¢ Never use a charger other than the one supplied to charge the power pack. Even
chargers with the same voltage and current ratings could permanently damage
the transceiver or the power pack. You can order a replacement charger at your
local Radio Shack store.
Using Alkaline Batteries
You can operate the transceiver from six AA batteries (not supplied) using the sup-
plied alkaline battery holder. This battery holder supplies 9 volts and can operate
your transceiver at 4 watts (typical power) with the LOW POWER button out. Fol-
low these steps to load or replace batteries in the alkaline battery holder.
1. Hold the outer battery holder case and push down on the center of the battery
holder, as shown. |
2. Remove old batteries, if necessary, and install six fresh AA alkaline batteries,
observing correct polarity as indicated by the markings (+ and —) in the bat-
tery holder.
