Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the back of the radio while titling the Belt Clip outward. ・ To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove protective cases. Slide the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio, and then slide the battery downward and out from the radio while unfolding the Belt Clip. Caution!: Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable Li-Ion packs, as they could explode if accidentally short-circuited. Low Battery Indication ・ As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage becomes to low, substitute a freshly charged battery and recharge the depleted pack. The TX/BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will blink red when the battery voltage is low. ・ Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries often with little use between charges, as this can degrade the charge capacity. We recommend that you carry an extra, fully-charged pack with you so the operational battery may be used until depletion (this “deep cycling” technique promotes better long-term battery capacity) 1/7 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
