3. Charging the COM400BP Batteries

When a good battery is in the COMMUNICATOR and the power is on, the red light

on top of the unit will be lit. This light only indicates the power is on. It does not

indicate how much power is left in the battery. As a battery weakens during routine

use, you will hear a repeating beep in the earpiece, indicating the battery needs to

be replaced. Typical battery life with normal use is 8 to 10 hours.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, turn Communicator OFF before removing

batteries.

Installing and Removing Communicator Batteries:

! Install a fully charged battery in the battery compartment with the arrow on the

battery pointing out as shown in Figure 16. Slide it into the tracks on both sides

of the compartment until its catch clicks securely in place.

! To remove the battery from a Communicator, slide the battery latch open and

push the battery in the direction of the large arrow on the battery as shown in

Figure 17.
