BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your FR-140 requires three “AA” alkaline cells or three rechargeable “AA” nickel - cadmium cells. Alkaline batteries will provide the best performance from your transciever. Remove the battery cover by releasing the clasp at the bottom of the unit and lifting the cover from the battery compartment. Observe the polarity symbols
inside the battery tray when installing the 
batteries.
CAUTION: Incorrect battery installation can damage the unit.
BATTERY SAVER MODE
Your FR-140 has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of its batteries. Ten seconds after the transmit button has been pressed, the FR-140 will switch to battery saver mode. This will be indicated by the flashing PS (Power Saver) icon. The transciever will remain ready to receive any incoming transmissions while in the battery saver mode. Pressing any of the buttons will exit the battery saver mode.
