4 Preparing to use
4. Fixing/removing the
belt clip
The rear belt clip allows the user to
easily clip the transceiver to a belt.
However, it may be necessary to
remove the clip in order to make
radio maintenance or battery
substitution easier to carry out.
To remove the clip lift the release
lever and drag the clip upwards until
it comes free.
To fasten the clip to the device,
position it above the groove found
of the back of the transceiver, then
drag it downwards until it locks into
place.
! Ensure the belt clip is correctly attached; otherwise the
transceiver may become unattached and accidentally fall.
4.2 Installing/removing the batteries
The transceiver is powered by 3 optional batteries AA type. There are
two battery options available:
• Rechargeable 1.2V NiMH - available in various capacities (in
mAh). Higher battery capacity allows for greater duty, but requires
longer recharging time.
• Non-rechargeable 1.5V alkaline.
MIDLAND G2 can also be powered by a battery pack that ships
with the supplied desktop battery charger

For installing/removing the batteries, it is not necessary to remove
the belt clip (procedure outlined in par. 4.1), however, this does
make it easier to access the batteries
! Do not install a combination of rechargeable and alkaline
batteries in your transceiver. Always use 3 AA batteries of
the same type, brand, and from the same stock. Always use
the same batteries, as a set in order to ensure their level of
charge is the same.
! If you are not using the transceiver for an extended period,
remove the batteries.

1) Carefully unhook the rear clasp by slightly raising it and
catching the depression with a fingernail, then rotating the clasp
downwards.
2) Carefully lift the rear protective
cover from the battery

3) Insert the batteries (rechargeable
or alkaline) in the battery

in their polarity, as indicated
on the inside of the battery
compartment.
4) Carefully insert the cover’s tabs into the slots at the top of the
battery compartment, and then slowly press the cover down
