The radio’s range decreases as bat-
tery power decreases. To ensure
maximum range, keep fresh batter-
ies in the radio.
When the batteries weaken, a tone
sounds for about 5 seconds, the ra-
dio will not transmit or receive, and
an error tone sounds whenever you
press
PTT , MON , or CALL . Replace
the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn
or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use
the radio for a week, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronic
parts.
