Charging and caring for batteries 149
Inserting the radio into the
vehicle charger
1 Place the radio in the charger with the battery
attached.
Warning When the portable radio is used inside a
vehicle, radio performance is degraded. Use a mobile
radio for all critical communications. If the portable
radio must be left switched on while it is in the charger,
removing the radio from the charger will improve radio
performance. Check your local regulations about
using a portable radio in a vehicle.
2 Firmly press the retention
bar towards the radio.
If the larger battery
(such as the IS/NI battery)
is attached to the radio,
there will be an audible
click as the catches
engage. If the smaller
battery is attached to the
radio, there will be two
audible clicks as the catches engage. If the
catches do not engage, remove the radio.
Press once firmly on the release bar, then try
again.
