Page 15

INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL ANTENNA

Screw the antenna into the connector on the top of the transceiver by holding the antenna at its base and turning it clockwise until secure.

Note: The antenna is neither a handle, a key ring retainer, nor a speaker/ microphone attachment point. Using the antenna in these ways may damage the antenna and degrade your transceiver’s performance.

INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP

If necessary, attach the belt clip using the two supplied 3 x 8 mm screws.

Note: If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location may get hot during continuous transmission or when left sitting in a hot environment.

Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the belt clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver. Acrylic ester, which is contained in these glues, may crack the transceiver’s back panel.
