For maximum power output and performance from the unit, we strongly recommend that you 
only use "AA" NiMH rechargeable batteries in your battery pack. Due to the voltage rating 
and power consumption of the radio, NiMH’s deliver superior performance and life than 
alkaline. These batteries are readily available from your radio dealer or other electronic 
stores. While the radio will work with alkaline batteries, you will definitely not achieve full 
transmit power or length of talk time on each set of batteries when compared to NiMH'. The 
battery pack supplied with the radio is a slide on battery case that requires 9 "AA" size 
batteries (preferably NiMH) To install the 9 batteries into the case, hold the pack in one hand, 
while at the same time using your other hand to press down on the center tab (see 
illustration). The pack will open into two distinct pieces, with polarity markings for batteries to 
install on each side. Please pay attention to the polarity markings, as incorrect battery 
installation can damage the radio. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
IMPORTANT:  When the batteries voltage become low, in addition to the "Battery Low" 
indicator coming on the display, you will experience a BLANK DISPLAY when you press the 
PTT button. This is due to the needed voltage being greater than the power you have left in 
the battery pack. This "Blank Display" situation is a normal reaction to the batteries becoming 
low. Please replace or re-charge to batteries immediately when these situations occur.
