ApexPro FH Transceiver: Maintenance
Installing and Removing a Battery
NOTE
Battery service life can be substantially improved by using nine-volt
lithium batteries.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to insert the 9V battery into the battery
compartment in the opposite direction of that which is
specified. Incorrect battery insertion may result in
additional stress on the door hinge and battery contacts.
This may result in hinge breakage, poor battery contact,
and a decrease in transceiver performance.
To install a 9V battery, first open the transceiver battery compartment
by placing your thumb and forefinger on the compartment latch and
flipping it open. Inspect the battery compartment and insure that there
is no foreign object present that could block the battery contact or short
the battery terminals. Next, place a 9V battery inside the compartment
with the prongs touching the compartment contacts. The orientation of
the battery prongs against the contacts does not matter, so long as the
prongs and contacts are touching. Finally, close the battery compartment
door by pressing it until the latch clicks into place and the compartment
is secure.
To remove a battery, simply follow the installation steps listed above and
discard the used battery per applicable regulations.
NOTE
If a weak battery is inserted into a ApexPro FH transceiver, then all
of the LED indicators will continuously flash On and Off. Replace the
weak battery with a fully charged battery.
CAUTION
Prior to closing the battery compartment door, make sure
that the battery compartment latch is in the open
position. If the door is closed on the latch, then the
increased pressure could cause undue stress on the latch,
which may cause latch breakage.
