36 Before using your radio
Removing the antenna
Warning Do not change the antenna in a hazardous
location. An explosion could cause serious injury or
death.
Use a firm grip and turn the antenna counterclockwise
half a turn. Use a lighter grip to fully unscrew the
antenna, and carefully remove it.
Attaching a belt clip
To attach a belt clip to the radio:
1 Slide the belt clip into the two grooves at the top of
the battery.
2 Press down on the belt clip until it snaps into place.
Removing a belt clip
The belt clip has been designed to prevent accidental
removal, but you can take it off, if required.
To remove a belt clip from a battery:
1 Insert a flat screwdriver blade or similar flat object
under the lip of the release lock (that is, between it
and the metal slider).
2 Lift the release lock up (away from the metal slider)
and hold it in position.
3 Slide the belt clip out.
