Getting Started

Installing the Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery

The

AU Series radio operates using a Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable

battery pack, which proves up to 9 hours

of usage. A battery, transformer, and drop-

in charger tray are supplied with your radio.

1. Make sure your radio is turned off, by turning the

volume knob counterclockwise.

2. Remove the belt clip, if necessary (see page 11).

3. With the radio back facing you, push the latch on the

bottom of the radio away from you and slide the battery

cover downward, toward you.

4. Insert the NiMH battery. Read battery pack installation

instructions for appropriate fit.

5. Slide and snap the battery cover into place.

Note: Remove batteries before storing your radio for extended periods. Batteries corrode

over time and may cause permanent damage to your radio. Exercise caution when

handling batteries that are leaking. Dispose of exhausted batteries at a designated

battery disposal unit and not in the household waste.

1. Based on a standard duty cycle of 5% Transmit, 5% Receive, and 90% Standby.

DO NOT disassemble the NiMH battery pack.
