Powering the transceiver:
Your FR-1538 radio transceiver operates on four AAA batteries. You may operate
your FR-1538 using the rechargeable batteries included or you may use alkaline
batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than the
rechargeable batteries.
Installing the batteries:
To install batteries into the radio, it is necessary to remove the belt clip. To do this
you will need to release the spring clip securing the belt clip to the radio and lift the
belt clip away from the radio body. Next, remove the battery compartment cover by
sliding it downward towards the bottom of the transceiver. Observe the polarity
symbols on the top of the tray when inserting the batteries. Replace the cover.
