4. BATTERY INSTALLATION:
When attaching the battery, make sure the battery is in
parallel and in good contact with the aluminum chassis.
The battery bottom is about 1 to 2 centimeters below the
bottom of the radio's body.
Align the battery with the guide rails on the aluminum chassis
and slide it upwards until a "click" is heard.
2.INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP: The battery latch at the bottom locks the battery.
If necessary, install the belt clip at the rear of the battery compartment cover as shown in the figure
below.
4. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with a soft cloth prior to charge.
5. The battery will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal performance, it is time to buy a new battery.
4.BATTERY STORAGE:
1. Fully charge a battery before you store it for a long time, to avoid battery damage due to
over- discharge.
2. Recharge a battery after several months' storage (Li-Ion batteries: 6 months), to avoid
battery capacity reduction due to over-discharge.
3. Store your battery in a cool and dry place under room temperature, to reduce self-discharge.

is activated automatically by detecting the radio voice. When finish speaking, the transmission
automatically terminated and the transceiver will automatically receive signal. Be sure to
adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to allow smooth transmission.
