SAFETY INFO RMA TION The F ederal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, has adopted a safety standard for the human exposure to radio frequency ( RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC r egulated equipment. Pr oper operation of this radio will result in user e xposure far below the Occupa- tio[...]

B A TTER Y CHARGING AND CARE Do not dispose of the batter y pack in fire - it ma y ex plode, causing injur y or death. Do not replace the battery in hazardous atmosphere locations. Do not carr y batter y loose in your pock et or purse. Do not attempt to repair batter y . The product you hav e purchased contains a rechargeable battery . The batter y[...]

T o remov e the batter y pack, push up on the batter y latch and slide the batter y pack to the right. T o replace the batter y , align the batter y on the track and slide to the left until a click is heard, indicating the battery is correctly installed. If the batter y is to be charged on the radio , tur n the power s witc h on the radio to the of[...]

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE 1. Charge batter y to full capacity , 14 hours at the stand- ard C/10 rate (capacity X .10). For "rapid" chargers, allow additional time (2-3 hours) for "topping off" the charge after it switches from "f as t" to "slow". 2. Use the batter y soon and use as much of the batter y capacity as[...]
