3 BATTERY USE
3.1 Removal, Fitting and Options
The radio comes equipped with a 700- or
850mA-hour NiCad battery pack as standard
(depending on model). All battery types are
housed in an identical enclosure.
Model Battery Pack Supplied
200 NCB700 - 700mAh
150 NCB850 - 850mAh
250 NCB850 - 850mAh
150 GMDSS NCB850 - 850mAh
250 GMDSS NCB850 - 850mAh
To remove the battery, lift the release lever sit-
uated at the base of the battery pack to the ver-
tical position. Turn this through 180º, and pull
the release lever to withdraw the battery (Fig
3.1).
Before inserting a battery, check that the release
lever is in the ‘unlocked’ position (Fig 3.2), i.e.
the textured side of the lever is pointing away
from the recess on the base of the battery pack.
Although the set is fully waterproof even with
the battery removed, it is recommended that
any moisture on the top of the battery or in the
battery compartment is wiped clear prior to
insertion to prevent the water creating a con-
ductive path between the contacts and reduc-
ing battery life.
