Preparation
5. Snap the halves of the battery
case together to close it, then
slide the case onto the walkie-
talkie until it clicks.
Caution:
The battery case fits
onto the walkie-talkie only one
way. Do not force it.
When the sound becomes weak or
distorted, appears, or the walkie-
talkie stops operating properly, re-
place the batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the
walkie-talkie with batteries for two
weeks or longer, remove the batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
Using AC Power
You can power the walkie-talkie using
an optional DC power cord that pro-
vides 12V at 2.5 amps and a regulat-
ed 12V DC power supply, (neither
supplied). Both are available from
your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that sup-
plies regulated 13.8V
DC and delivers at least 2.5A. Its
center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the walkie-
talkie’s
12V DC PWR
jack. Using a
power cord that does not meet
these specifications could dam-
age the walkie-talkie or the
adapter.
• Always connect the power supply
to the walkie-talkie before you
connect it to AC power. When
you finish, disconnect the power
supply from AC power before
you disconnect it from the walkie-
talkie.
Follow these steps to operate the
walkie-talkie from AC power.
1. If the walkie-talkie is on, turn
OFF/VOLUME
fully counterclock-
wise until it clicks to turn it off.
2. Insert the power cord’s barrel
plug into the walkie-talkie’s
12V
DC PWR
jack.
3. Plug the power cord’s other end
into the DC power supply.
4. Plug the power supply’s cord into
a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the walkie-talkie from
a vehicle’s 12V power source (such
as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a
DC adapter and a size H Adapta-
plug™ connector (neither supplied).
Both are available from your local
RadioShack store.
