CAUTION: If you are using your radio in a cold-weather environment, West Marine recommends using non- rechargeable Lithium batteries.

##When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to a maximum of 2.5W.

Follow these steps to use the alkaline battery tray:

1)Hold the lower part of the tray in one hand with the three battery contacts facing down. Use your thumb to hold the notch on the lower part of the tray.

2) With your other hand, grip the

upper part of the tray and lift the

cover open.

3) Align the batteries’ positive and

negative terminals with the drawing

on the tray and snap each battery

into place.

4) Insert the two hooks on the lower

part

of the tray into the notches on the cover; close the cover. (The cover fits snugly but you should not have to force it closed.)

5) Install the alkaline battery tray in your radio just as you do the Li-Ion Polymer battery (see page E-15).

WARNING! The tray is designed to prevent the accidental charging of alkaline batteries. Never use alkaline batteries in the radio without the alkaline battery tray. Do not attempt to modify the battery tray design.
