Notes:
A nickel-cadmium battery pack lasts
longer and delivers more power if
you occasionally let it fully dis-
charge. To do this, use the trans-
ceiver until the RX/TX indicator
lights yellow when you press PUSH
TO TALK.
To prevent damaging a nickel-cad-
mium battery pack, never charge it
in an area where the temperature is
above 113°F (45°C) or below 32°F
(0°C).
Important: At the end of a rechargeable
battery pack’s useful life, it must be recy-
cled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area. Some options that
might be available are: municipal curb-
side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers such as your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection centers, and mail-
back programs.
Connecting THE Antenna

plied flexible antenna to your trans-
ceiver.
