Powering Your CB Radio

You can power your CB radio from one of these four sources:

•The rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack

•Eight AA batteries (not included) using the supplied battery case

•AC power using an AC-to-DC power supply (not included)

•Vehicle power using a DC power cord (not included)

Using the Ni-MH Battery Pack

Charge the Ni-MH battery pack (using the supplied AC charger) for about 18 hours prior to using it for the first time. Afterward, it takes 14-16 hours to charge the battery pack when it is fully discharged.

You can charge the battery pack while it is installed or removed. But the CB radio does not work during charging.

To charge the battery pack:

Connect the AC Charger to the CHG Jack, then plug it into an AC outlet. The CHARGE Indicator lights red and charging starts.

Note: The supplied AC charger is for charging only, not for directly powering the CB.

To install the battery pack:

Slide the battery pack onto the CB radio until it clicks. The battery pack fits onto the CB radio only one way. Do not force it.

To remove the battery pack, slide the battery pack in the arrow direction while holding up the latch.
