PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can operate your transceiver from any of three power sourc- es:
•internal batteries
•AC power (using an optional power supply and DC adapter)
•vehicle battery power (using an optional DC adapter)
Using Internal Batteries
Your transceiver can use two AA batteries (not supplied) for pow- er. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend Ra- dioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom- mended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable bat- teries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
LOCK Tab (on bottom)
1.Move the LOCK tab in the opposite direction of the arrow marked on the bottom of the transceiver.
