Ordering, Installing and Removing Batteries

Ordering Batteries

When a battery is defective, order a new battery by calling the Telecommuni-
cations Department [783-5505] and requesting a replacement. Return the defec-
tive battery to Telecommunications [mail stop O1] for proper disposal. The
battery should come already charged and with the belt clip attached. If the belt
clip is not attached to a new battery, return it to Telecommunications.

Low Battery Alert

The battery will emit an alert tone and the Battery Status Annunciator [
will flash to indicate a low-battery condition if the battery voltage falls below the
low-voltage level. The tone will be emitted when the PTT Switch is released in the
transmit mode, and when the low-battery condition is detected in the receive
mode. Change or charge the battery within the hour.

Charging the Battery

When using a desk model charger, insert the radio in the charger. The red light
will be on as long as the radio is in the charger and the battery is charging. It will
take 12 to 16 hours to fully charge the battery.
When using a vehicle mount, first remove the universal connection cover.
Insert the radio in the vehicle mount and gently rotate handle at the top. The bat-
tery will charge within one hour in the vehicle mount charger. Red light means
charging, and green light means charged.
Removing the Battery (see diagram on page 60)
1. Turn off the radio and hold it so that the battery side of the radio is tilted
down.
2. Press down on the two battery release levers.
3. With the release levers pulled down, the top of the battery will come apart
from the radio.
4. Remove the battery completely away from the radio.
WARNING: For disposal, nickel-cadmium batteries must be delivered to an
authorized metals reclamation dealer, which is done when necessary by the
Telecommunications Department. Return all defective batteries to Telecom-
munications, mail stop O1.
Do not dispose of any batteries in a fire, as they may explode.
