Lift the bottom of the battery pack slightly to remove it from the radio housing. 3. Pull battery pack out of the radio housing. Battery Pack Charging Only NOTE The LiON battery pack can also be charged in the battery charger without being installed in the radio. Insert the spacer into the battery charger to support the battery pack during this charging process. Follow the same procedures in "Initial Charge" to charge the battery pack. NOTICE Lithium-ion (LiON) batteries are toxic. Please dispose of properly. Some marine suppliers accept old battery packs for recycling and some municipal waste disposal agencies have special provisions for battery disposal. Alkaline Battery Tray Alkaline Batteries An optional alkaline battery tray (P/N CM 110-011) can be purchased for this radio. The alkaline battery tray acts as a backup or "Emergency" power source should the battery pack run low on power and needs to be recharged. The radio will transmit at full power when using six (6) new AA alkaline batteries. WARNING Never attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. They are not made to be recharged, and should be disposed of in a proper manner. Batteries and Charger VInHsFtaMllaatriionne Radio Protocols Fully Charged Maintaining the Battery Charge As you use your radio, the battery power icon will show the battery power remaining. When the icon begins to flash, it is time to recharge or change the batteries. Partially Charged Fully Discharged NOTICE Use only the drop-in charger provided by Cobra. Do not use the charger with alkaline batteries; only the LiON battery pack is rechargeable. Spent alkaline batteries must be discarded and replaced. It is a good idea to keep a set of fresh, high-quality AA alkaline batteries with your radio. Should the rechargeable battery pack become discharged and no electrical power source is available, you can insert the optional alkaline battery tray with fresh alkaline batteries and continue to use your radio. NOTE Some radios with LiON batteries have AA or AAA battery packs which only allow low-power transmit. The optional AA battery tray for the MR HH330 and a fresh set of alkaline batteries will allow for full-power emergency transmissions. 12 English Nothing Comes Close to a Cobra® 13
