USING INTERNAL BATTERIES
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can power your transceiver using two lithium ion batteries supplied as a sealed pack.
The battery pack has a built-in circuit that lets you recharge Li-Ion batteries. To charge the batteries, connect
an supplied external AC to DC adapter to the battery pack’s CHG jack.
Caution) Please, clear the contact on the radio to the lithium ion battery pack with alcohol from time to time.
Testing Internal Batteries
To test the batteries, hold down PWR for about 1 second. The battery voltage briefly appears. The bars of
battery icon on LCD appears as a battery monitor indicator. There more bars in side the icon, the stronger the
batteries. When there are no bars in side of battery icon and flashes, recharge the battery or replace all the
batteries if Alkaline batteries are used as soon as possible.
Using Non-Rechargeable Batteries
You can power your transceiver using four alkaline batteries using alkaline battery.
USING AC POWER
You can power the transceiver using a 13.8V DC power supply with a size H Adapta-plug adapter. This is
available at your local RadioShack store.
