ACCESSORY ATTACHMENT

■ Antenna

Insert the antenna connector into the antenna base
and tighten the antenna.
NEVER carry the transceiver by holding only the an-
tenna.
TIP: Third-party antennas may increase transceiver
performance. An optional AD-92SMA
is available to connect an antenna
nector adapter
that has a BNC connector. (p. 18-3)

■ Battery pack

To attach or detach the battery pack:
Attach or detach the battery pack or battery case, as
illustrated to the right.
See page 4-2 for details of the battery pack.
NOTE: Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a
small current still flows in the transceiver. Remove the
battery pack or case from the transceiver when not
using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or
installed batteries will become exhausted.
The battery protection function automatically sets
transceiver to Low1 power (0.5 W) when the temper-
ature is around 0°C (+32°F) or below. In this case,
transmit power selections (High, Mid and Low2) are
disabled.
