INSTALL THE BATTERY
Your GMRS480 radio uses the NiMH Battery Pack or 4 AA Alkaline
batteries. If Alkaline batteries are used, we recommend using Duracell
Ultra.
To install the NiMH Battery Pack:
1) Make sure your radio is OFF.
2) Remove the battery compartment door by firmly moving the clip away
from the door allowing the door to be removed.
3) Place the pack in the compartment, paying close attention to the round
alignment key. If the pack is installed incorrectly, the unit will not
operate and the compartment door will not close properly.
4) Replace the battery compartment and secure the clip back in place.
5) The battery pack must be charged before using for the first time. Insert
the charger adapter into the accessory jack and allow 12-14 hours
charging time to fully charge the battery pack. NOTE: Always make
sure your battery pack is fully discharged before recharging to prolong
the life of the battery pack.
To install Alkaline batteries:
1) Make sure your radio is OFF.
2) Remove the battery compartment door by firmly moving the clip away
from the door allowing the door to be removed
3) Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries (not included) into the battery
compartment. Be certain to follow the + and – symbols in the
compartment. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the unit
from operating.
4) Replace the battery compartment and secure the clip back in place.
BATTERY LEVEL AND LOW BATTERY ALERT
The unit has a battery level meter on the display
to indicate the status of the batteries. When the batteries in the unit are
low, the battery meter will “flash” and the unit will emit a “low battery”
tone indication. Replace the Alkaline batteries immediately or if you are
using the optional NiMH battery pack, you must recharge the batteries in
order to continue using your radio.
