Installing and Removing a Battery Pack, Continued

To install the Alkaline or Ni-Cad battery pack, hold the radio face down in one hand; the battery pack (flat side up) in the other. Orient the battery so that the 2 metal battery contacts are toward the bottom of the pack. Locate the tab at battery top and the slot at radio top panel. Turn the battery pack over in your hand, and tilt the tab end slightly downward to insert it into the slot. Lower opposite end of battery toward radio and press firmly until a click is heard and battery pack is firmly seated.

To remove either pack from the radio, hold the radio face down in one hand and use the thumb of other hand to press and hold the battery latch (at the battery pack base). Use gentle upward pressure to raise the battery about 1/2" from the radio back. Lift and pull the battery pack away from the radio, being careful not to break or put pressure on the battery pack tab.

The belt clip attaches to the upper right corner of the radio back. To attach, position the belt clip so that the deep slotted area faces the holder on radio back. Insert the holder into the slot, and slide the belt clip upward. A click will be heard, confirming the belt clip is firmly seated on the holder. Open belt clip (by pressing top of clip) and attach to belt, pocket or other convenient location.

To remove the belt clip, simply push and hold the release button (located at the top of the belt clip) while sliding the belt clip down off the holder on radio back.
