5.Snap the halves of the battery case together to close it, then slide the case onto the walkie- talkie until it clicks.

Caution: The battery case fits onto the walkie-talkie only one way. Do not force it.

When the sound becomes weak or

distorted, appears, or the walkie- talkie stops operating properly, re- place the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the walkie-talkie with batteries for two weeks or longer, remove the batter- ies. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Using AC Power

You can power the walkie-talkie using an optional DC power cord that pro- vides 12V at 2.5 amps and a regulat- ed 12V DC power supply, (neither supplied). Both are available from your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that sup- plies regulated 13.8V

DC and delivers at least 2.5A. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the walkie- talkie’s 12V DC PWR jack. Using a

power cord that does not meet these specifications could dam- age the walkie-talkie or the adapter.

•Always connect the power supply to the walkie-talkie before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the power supply from AC power before you disconnect it from the walkie- talkie.

Follow these steps to operate the walkie-talkie from AC power.

1.If the walkie-talkie is on, turn OFF/VOLUME fully counterclock- wise until it clicks to turn it off.

2.Insert the power cord’s barrel plug into the walkie-talkie’s12V DC PWR jack.

3.Plug the power cord’s other end into the DC power supply.

4.Plug the power supply’s cord into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the walkie-talkie from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a DC adapter and a size H Adapta- plug™ connector (neither supplied).

Both are available from your local RadioShack store.
