Setting Up The Hardware; Installing The Battery; Using The Alkaline Battery Case - West Marine VHF255 Owner's Manual

Setting Up the Hardware

Installing the Battery

Your radio comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery;
for shipping safety, the battery is not installed at the
factory. The empty alkaline battery case is installed as a
placeholder.
1) Insert the tabs on the battery
into the notches at the top of the
battery compartment.
#
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 (SKU# 12012555; see back cover page for
contact information).
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
Case
The radio also comes with a battery case that holds
four AAA-type alkaline batteries (not included). You can
use alkaline batteries as a backup for the Li-Ion battery
so you can still use your radio while your Li-Ion battery
is recharging. For best performance, West Marine
