INSTALLING/ REMOVING ALKALINE BATTERIES ◆ Do not install batteries in a hazardous environment where sparks could cause an explosion. ◆ Never discard old batteries in fire; extremely high temperatures can cause batteries to explode. ◆ Do not short circuit the battery case terminals. ◆ Do not use commercially available rechargeable or manganese batteries. Note: ◆ If you do not plan to use the transceiver for a long period, remove the batteries from the battery case. ◆ This battery case has been designed for transmitting at a power of approximately 1 W (the low power setting on your transceiver). If you want to transmit a stronger signal (using the high power setting on your transceiver), use an optional rechargeable battery pack. 1 To open the battery case, press on the two tabs on the upper rear of the case then pull the two halves apart. 2 Insert 6 AA (LR 6) alkaline batteries into the battery case. • Be sure to match the polarities with those marked in the bottom of the battery case. 3 Align the tabs of the cover with the base, then push down on the cover until it locks in place. 8
