Radio Shack BTX-123 User Manual

Follow these steps to charge the
battery pack.

1. If the battery pack is attached to

the transceiver and the trans-
ceiver is on, turn it off.

2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug

into the CHRG jack on the side
of the battery pack. Then plug
the adapter’s power module into
a standard AC outlet.

Warning: Do not use an AC adapt-
er’s polarized plug with an exten-
sion cord, receptacle, or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully in-
serted to prevent blade exposure.

Note: A rechargeable battery pack
lasts longer and delivers more pow-
er if you let it fully discharge once a
month. To do this, simply use the
transceiver until the BUSY/TX/BATT
indicator on the front of the trans-
ceiver lights yellow when you press
PUSH TO TALK. Then fully charge
the battery pack.

Important! At the end of a recharge-
able battery pack’s useful life, it must
be recycled or disposed of properly.
Contact your local, county, or state
hazardous waste management au-
thorities for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be avail-
able are: municipal curb-side collec-
tion, drop-off boxes at retailers such
as your local RadioShack store, re-
cycling collection centers, and mail-
back programs.

Connecting THE Antenna

Caution: To prevent damage to your
transceiver, you must connect an an-
tenna before you operate it.

Follow these steps to attach the sup-
plied flexible antenna to your trans-
ceiver.
