West Marine 14078562 manual Setting Up the Hardware, Attaching the Antenna, Installing the Battery

Setting Up the Hardware

Attaching the Antenna

The antenna detaches from the radio for easy shipping or storage. To attach the antenna to your radio, screw it tightly onto the anchor post at the top of the radio.

Installing the Battery

Your radio comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion Polymer battery; for shipping safety, the battery is not installed at the factory. The empty alkaline battery tray is installed as a placeholder.

1) Insert the tabs on the battery into the notches at the top of the battery compartment.

##Each time you remove the battery, check the rubber seal around the battery compartment. Make sure the seal is seated in the groove and there is no dirt or debris on it. If the seal looks worn or damaged, contact customer service to order a replacement (see back cover page for contact information).

2)Lower the battery until it rests flat in the compartment.

3)Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.

Using the Alkaline Battery Tray

The radio also comes with an alkaline battery tray that holds four AAA-type alkaline batteries (not included). You can use alkaline batteries as a backup for the Li-Ion Polymer battery so you can still use your radio while your Li-Ion Polymer battery is recharging.
