Getting Started

Waterproof

This radio is waterproof to IP-67 standards. It will withstand submersion under up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The radio is resistant to water, rain, and splashes only when the battery cover and headset accessory port are sealed. Open the battery compartment door or headset port cover only when the radio is dry. Use of a headset accessory should be in dry environments only.

The charging base and AC adaptor are not waterproof. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Charge the radios only in a dry location. Do not place wet radios into the charging base.

Installing the Batteries

Radio floats with included NiMH battery. It may not float with some AA batteries. Each radio can use either 1 NiMH rechargeable battery pack or 3 AA alkaline batteries and beeps when the batteries are low.

Installing NiMH Rechargeable Battery Pack (Optional Accessory)

1.Turn the radio off.

2.With the back of the radio facing you, loosen the retaining screw on the battery door and open the cover.

3.Remove the NiMH battery pack from the clear plastic bag (do not disassemble or unwrap the battery pack).

4.Insert the NiMH battery pack with the diagram facing you. (The ribbon should be underneath the battery pack and should wrap around the right side of the pack for easy removal.)

5.Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screw on the battery door.

Installing the Three AA Alkaline Batteries

1.Turn the radio off.

2.With the back of the radio facing you, loosen the retaining screw on the battery door and open the cover.

3.Insert the three AA alkaline batteries with + and - polarity as shown inside. (The ribbon should be underneath the AA alkaline batteries and should wrap around the right side of the batteries.)

4.Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screw on the battery door.

Caution: Radio may not float with some AA batteries installed.

Radio Battery Meter

The radio battery icon shows the battery charge level, from

full to empty . When the radio has one segment left,

the radio chirps periodically or after releasing (Low Battery Alert).

Removing the NiMH Battery Pack (Optional Accessory)

1.Turn the radio off.

2.With the back of the radio facing you, loosen the retaining screw on the battery door to release the battery cover and open the cover.

3.Remove the NiMH battery pack by pulling the ribbon attached to the radio.

4.Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screw on the battery door.

Removing the Three AA Alkaline Batteries

3.Gently remove each alkaline battery by easing each battery out individually.

4.Close the battery cover and tighten the retaining screw on the battery door.

Notes

•Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not use sharp or conductive tools to remove either of these batteries.

•Remove the batteries before storing the radio for extended periods of time. Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to the radio.

•The battery door must be tightly closed with the screw to maintain the waterproof seal of the radio.

Using the Battery Charger (Optional Accessory)

The battery charger provides drop-in charging convenience for NiMH batteries and can be placed on any flat surface, such as a desk or workbench. Charge the NiMH battery overnight (at least 16 hours) before using it for the first time. After the initial charge, an empty battery is fully charged within 14 hours.

1.Follow the steps above to install a NiMH Battery Pack.

2.Plug the AC power supply cord into the jack on the desk stand.

3.Plug the AC power supply into a standard wall outlet.

4.With a radio facing forward, slide it into one of the charging pockets.

5.When charging in the battery charger, the red light on the charger base will glow continuously.

Notes

•The light will remain red after the NiMH battery pack is fully charged.

•When moving between hot and cold temperatures, do not charge the NiMH battery pack until the battery temperature acclimates (usually about 20 minutes).

•For optimal battery life, remove the radio from the charger within 16 hours. Do not store the radio while connected to the charger.

•If the radio is kept on while charging, the charging time will be extended.

•Even though the charger is connected, you may not be able to

transmit a message if the battery is completely empty		.
Allow time for the battery to charge to 1 bar	before
attempting to transmit a message.

•When the radio is wet from rain or snow, thoroughly dry the surface before charging or removing the batteries.
