POWERING THE TRANSCEIVER

Your GMRS-WP1 radio transceiver operates on four AAA batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable batteries and will ensure optimum performance for the GMRS-WP1.

Batteries

There are three methods of powering the GMRS-WP1:

1.Alkaline Batteries.

WARNING: Do not attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries.

2.Audiovox Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries - (Rechargeable NiMH batteries (P/N FRSRBAT) and Charging Adapter (Model No. WP1CHG) sold separately.) Use only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries and charging adapter when charging batter ies internal to the unit. For additional optional equipment and accessories for the GMRS-WP1, visit the Audiovox web site at ww.audiovox.com, or call Customer Service at 1-800-290-6650.

NOTE: To extend battery life, avoid overcharging the batteries.

3.Various Brands of Rechargeable Batteries - Use of the optional Audiovox charging adapter with other brands of rechargeable batter ies is not recommended, as battery charging times will vary with

different brands of batteries. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.

Installing the Batteries:

Battery installation is made more convenient when the carry clip is removed. To do this, release the spring latch securing the clip to radio and slide the clip downward and away from the mounting stud.
