Testing the Battery Power

1.Turn on the TRC-236 by rotating OFF/VOLUME clockwise until it clicks.

2.Hold down BATT TEST. If the indica- tor lights, there is enough battery power to operate the CB. If the indi- cator is dim or does not light, replace or recharge the batteries.

Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

You can use a battery charger, Cat. No. 23-249 (not supplied), to charge or re- charge nickel-cadmium batteries while they are inside the TRC-236’s battery compartment.

Do not use the TRC-236 while you are charging the nickel-cadmium batteries.

Cautions:

•Use only the recommended battery charger to recharge the batteries in the TRC-236. Other chargers could damage your TRC-236 or the batter- ies.

•Be careful not to overcharge nickel- cadmium batteries.

•To prevent damage to rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, never charge them in an area where the temperature is above 90°F (32°C) or below 40°F (4.5°C).
