BATTERY INSTALLATION
BATTERY SAVER MODE
Your FR-531 has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of
its batteries. After 8 seconds of inactivity, the FR-531-2 will switch to bat-
tery saver mode. While in battery saver mode, the battery saver mode
indicator ( ) is present on the display, and the transceiver will remain
ready to receive any incoming transmissions while the battery saver mode
is active. Pressing any of the buttons, except the up, down, Function (F) or
VOX button will exit the battery saver mode.
CAUTION:
Your FR-531 requires four AAA alkaline or four
rechargeable AAA cells. Alkaline batteries will
provide the best performance from your trans-
ceiver. Remove the battery cover by releasing
the belt clip latch at the top, and sliding the clip
up and away from the back of the unit. Slide
the battery cover downward while applying pres-
sure at the embossed arrow. Observe the po-
larity symbols inside the battery tray when in-
stalling the batteries.
Incorrect battery installation can damage the unit.
The microphone / charger jack is intended for use with Audiovox ap-
proved charging accessories only. Refer to the documentation included

Never attempt to charge alkaline batteries with the optional battery
charger.
