Recharging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Batteries

•Average charge time varies, depending on capacity. Typically, Ni-MH batteries charge in about 10 hours. Ni-Cd batteries charge in approximately four hours.

•You can use your radio while charging the batteries if you employ a DC to DC regulated and filtered adapter (such as RadioShack catalog number 273-1859), but not if you employ an AC to DC regulated adapter (such as 273-1762).

Controls

•If you hold down PTT over 2 minutes, the radio automatically stops transmitting to

save power. The radio will generate an alert tone and JN will flash on the display if you continue to hold down PTT.

•The radio automatically scans through quiet codes while scanning through the channels. The quiet code feature automatically turns on when a signal is detected on a channel and quiet code, and turns off after the signal disappears. To stay on the active channel and quiet code, press PTT to stop scanning before the signal disappears.

Using Key Lock

When the keys are locked, you can still send a page to other FRS radios set to the same channel by holding down ¹ý/CALL, but you cannot select a channel by pressing ¹ý/CALL.

The EPA certified RBRC® Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is voluntarily participating in an

industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843- 7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. RadioShack’s involvement in this program is part of the company’s commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.

Complete charging takes about 10 hours.± When charging is complete, unplug the AC or DC adapter from the power source, then disconnect it from the radio’s DC 6V jack.#
