Operation
Normal Operation - The communicator is designed to be used with a headset for talking and
listening. The communicator can also be placed inside the holster, then the holster can be
clipped onto your belt, pocket, handbag, or other apparel and used with the headset.
Tips on Efficient Operation - Observe the following guidelines to operate your
communicator most efficiently.
• Extend your antenna fully, if applicable.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the communicator is in use. Contact with
the antenna affects call quality and may cause the communicator to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if a conductive
material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The
material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against
such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects. When the battery is detached from the communicator, your batteries are
packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries
when not in use.
