Attaching the Antenna

The antenna detaches from the radio for easy ship-
ping or storage. To attach the antenna to your radio,
screw it tightly onto the anchor post at the top of
the radio.

Installing the Battery

Your radio comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion Polymer battery; for shipping
safety, the battery is not installed at the factory.
The empty alkaline battery tray is installed as a placeholder.
1) Insert the tabs on the battery into the notches at the top of the battery com-
partment.
-
Each time you remove the battery, check the rubber seal around
the battery compartment. Make sure the seal is seated in the
groove and there is no dirt or debris on it. If the seal looks worn
or damaged, contact customer service to order a replacement.
2) Lower the battery until it rests flat in the compartment.
3) Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.

Using the Alkaline Battery Tray

The radio also comes with an alkaline battery tray that holds four AAA-type
alkaline batteries (not included). You can use alkaline batteries as a backup
for the Li-Ion Polymer battery so you can still use your radio while your Li-Ion
Polymer battery is recharging.
CAUTION: If you are using your radio in a cold-weather environ-
ment, PRESIDENT recommends using nonrechargeable Lithium
batteries.
-
When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to a
maximum of 2.5W.
Follow these steps to use the alkaline battery tray:
