4 PREPARATION
Before using your transceiver, ensure that your package contains:
• The transceiver
• The flexible, rubber ducky antenna with SMA connector
• The belt clip
• The user's manual (this manual)
If any part is missing or damaged, contact your supplier as soon as
possible.
In order for the device to function, you will require four AA batteries,
either 1.2V NiMH rechargeable or 1.5V non-rechargeable alkaline.
For further details, refer to par 4.3.
To charge the NiMH batteries without taking them out of the radio,
a standard MW904 wall charger is available, as well as a CA445
intelligent table-top charger. For further details, refer to par. 4.4.
4.1 Connecting/removing the antenna
4.1.a Connecting the antenna:
1) Hold the transceiver in one hand, with the antenna connector fa-
cing upwards; pick up the flexible, rubber ducky antenna by its
base (the larger end, with the SMA connector).
2) Orientate the base of the antenna in the direction of the transcei-
ver's antenna connector.
3) Screw the antenna into the antenna connector, turning it clockwise
until it is firmly in place.
Do not tight too much the antenna: doing so may damage the
threaded connector on the radio or the antenna itself.
4.1.b Removing the antenna:
1) Follow step 1 of paragraph 4.1.a.
2) Unscrew the flexible, rubber ducky antenna, turning it counter-
clockwise and removing it.
Avoid transmitting without the antenna connected or with a
damaged antenna. Although the radio is protected, doing so
may seriously damage the R.F. power stages. Use the radio
only with the antenna.
4.2 Fastening/removing the belt clip
The rear belt clip allows the user to easily clip the transceiver to a belt.
However, it may be necessary to remove the clip in order to make
easier the radio maintenance or battery substitution. To fasten the clip
to the radio, position it above the groove found of the back of the
transceiver, then drag it downwards until it locks into place. To remove
the clip from the belt, lift the release lever and drag the clip upwards
until it comes free.
Ensure the belt clip is correctly attached; otherwise the tran-
sceiver may become unattached accidentally and fall.
4.3 Installing/removing the batteries
The transceiver operates with four AA batteries (not included). There
are two battery options available:
• Rechargeable 1.2V NiMH – available in various capacities (in mAh).
Higher battery capacity allows for greater duty, but requires longer
recharging time.
• Non-rechargeable 1.5V alkaline.
