4 PREPARATION
Before using your transceiver, ensure that your package contains:
• The transceiver
• The belt clip
• The user’s manual (this manual)
If any part is missing or damaged, contact your supplier as soon as
possible.
In order for the device to function, you will require four AA batteries,
either 1.2V NiMH rechargeable or 1.5V non-rechargeable alkaline.
For further details, refer to par 4.2.
To charge the NiMH batteries without taking them out of the radio,
a standard MW904 wall charger is available, as well as a CA445
intelligent table-top charger. For further details, refer to par. 4.3
4. Fastening/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 facilitate
maintenance of the radio or battery changes. To fasten the clip to the
radio, position it above the groove found of the back of the transceiver,
then drag it downwards until it locks into place. To remove the clip
from the belt, lift the release lever and drag the clip upwards until it
comes free.
Ensure the belt clip is attached correctly ; otherwise the
transceiver may become unattached accidentally and fall.
4.2 Installing/removing the batteries
The transceiver operates with four AA batteries (not included). There
are two battery options available:
• Rechargeable 1.2V NiMH - available in various capacities (in mA/h).
Higher battery capacity allows for greater duty, but requires longer
recharging time.
• Non-rechargeable 1.5V alkaline.
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 4 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.
4.2.a To install the batteries:
1. Unhook the clasp (A) downwards as indicated in picture 1.
2. Carefully lift the rear protective
cover from the battery compartment
and remove it.
3. Insert the batteries (rechargeable
or alkaline) in the battery
compartment, paying attention to
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
against the battery compartment until it is aligned with the
transceiver body.
5. Carefully return the clasp (A) onto the protective cover, pressing
until it clicks into place.
