tive soft or hard case, if used.
r Grasp the transceiver with your
left hand, so your palm is over the
speaker and your thumb is on the
UNLOCK button.
r Move the UNLOCK button in the
direction indicated by the arrow-
head, while using your right hand
to slide the battery case toward the
side with the UNLOCK button.

sliding the battery case in the other direction after aligning the shorter side of the battery
case with the track below the UNLOCK button.
