3. Press the battery holder into the battery holder case.
When power is low, BATT appears when you press PTT. Be sure to use six
fresh AA alkaline batteries. Never mix different types of batteries, and
never mix old and new batteries.
OPERATING FROM VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can operate the transceiver from vehicle battery using a DC power cord
(Radio Shack Cat. No. 270-1533). This cord supplies a 13.8 volts (typical)
to your transceiver and can operate your transceiver at 6 watts (typical
power) with the LOW POWER button out. Follow these steps to operate
from
the vehicles battery power.
1. Plug the power cord's barrel plug into the transceiver's EXT DC jack.
CAUTION: Never plug the power cord into the rechargeable power pack's
CHARGE jack. Doing so can damage the power pack and the
transceiver.
2. Plug the power cord's cigarette-lighter plug into your vehicle's
cigarette-lighter socket.
If the transceiver does not operate, remove the power cord's plug from the
cigarette-lighter and check for debris. Clean the socket, if necessary,
and try again.
OPERATING FROM AC POWER
You can operate the transceiver from AC power using either the 1-amp 12
volt DC adapter(Cat. No. 273-1653) or our regulated 2.5-amp power supply
(Cat. No. 22-120). The 2.5-amp power supply lets you operate your
transceiver at 5 watts (typical power) with the low power button out and is
better isolated from 60 Hz noise. The 1-amp adapter connects very quickly
and requires no soldering but only operates your transceiver at about 2
watts with the LOW POWER button out.
