POWERING THE

WALKIE-TALKIE

You can power your walkie-talkie from any of these sources:

supplied rechargeable Ni-MH

(nickel-metal-hydride) battery pack

eight AA batteries (not supplied) using the supplied AA battery case

vehicle power using an optional DC power cord

standard AC power using an optional DC power supply

Note: If you attach the supplied AA battery case to the walkie-talkie, you can operate the walkie-talkie and re- charge the Ni-MH battery pack at the same time. See “Using the Ni-MH Battery Pack” below and “Using the AA Battery Case” on Page 8.

Using the Ni-MH

Battery Pack

You can use the supplied Ni-MH battery pack to power the walkie- talkie. You must charge the Ni-MH battery pack (using the supplied bat- tery charger) for about 18 hours the first time you use it. It takes about 14– 16 hours to recharge a Ni-MH battery

pack that is fully discharged. You can charge the Ni-MH battery pack while it is installed or removed.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that sup- plies 16V DC and de-

livers at least 200 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the walkie-talkie’s CHG jack. The supplied battery charger meets these specifica- tions. Using a battery charger that does not meet these specifi- cations could damage the walkie- talkie or the battery charger.

Always connect the battery charger to the Ni-MH battery pack before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, discon- nect the battery charger from AC power before you disconnect it from the Ni-MH battery pack.

Use only the supplied battery charger to recharge the Ni-MH battery pack. Other battery chargers might damage your walkie-talkie or the Ni-MH battery pack.

1.If the walkie-talkie is on, turn OFF/VOLUME fully counterclock- wise until it clicks to turn it off.
