Radio Shack BTX-124 owner manual Using the Belt Clip

Note: Charging time is 14 to 16 hours.

Cautions:

•To prevent permanent battery power loss, never charge the batteries in an area where the temperature is above about 80°F. The charger does not operate at all at tempera- tures below 32°F or above 113°F.

•Never use any other charger to recharge the transceiver’s battery pack. This could permanently dam- age your transceiver or the battery pack.

Important: This transceiver uses a re- chargeable nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the end of the battery pack’s useful life, it must be recycled or dis- posed of properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste man- agement authorities for information on recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some options that might be avail- able are: municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store, recycling collec- tion centers, and mail-back programs.

Checking the Battery Power

1.Rotate VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn on the transceiver.

2.Press the push-to-talk button on the left side of the transceiver. If BUSY•TX/LO BATT lights red, there is sufficient battery power for trans- mission. If the indicator lights yellow, you need to recharge the battery pack.

Using the Belt Clip

The supplied belt clip lets you easily clip the transceiver to your belt. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to secure the clip to the transceiver’s back with the supplied screws and washers, then attach it to your belt.

Using an Earphone

To listen privately or to hear better in a noisy area, you can plug a monaural earphone into the EAR jack on the top of the transceiver. This automatically dis- connects the speaker.
