NSTALLATION OF
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire
frequency range of the transceiver. However, for enhanced
reception on certain non-Amateur frequencies, you may wish
to connect an antenna designed specifically for that frequency
range, as the supplied antenna is necessarily a compromise
outside the Amateur band, and cannot be expected to provide
high performance at all frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the
antenna, then screw it onto the mating connector on the trans-
ceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme
force.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper part of the antenna while
screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the
transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss.

The FNB-83 is a high-performance Ni-MH battery providing high capacity in a compact
package. Under normal use, the FNB-83 may be used for approximately 300 charge cycles,
after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery pack
which is displaying capacity which has become diminished, you should replace the pack
with a new one.
Installation of the battery is easy and quick:
Insert the battery pack into the battery compart-
ment on the back of the radio while tilting the
Belt Clip outward, then
close the Battery Pack
Latch until it locks in
place with a "Click."
To remove the battery,
turn the radio off and
remove any protective
cases. Open the Battery
Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio, then slide the battery downward and out from
the radio while tilting the Belt Clip out of the way.
