Installing the Antenna
1. Align the bottom side of the antenna with the antenna connector
on the transceiver.
Caution Be sure to hold the thick base of the antenna when installing it.
2. Turn the antenna clockwise until it is secured.
zDo not hold or twist the upper part of the antenna when installing
or removing it. To do so may break the conductors inside the
antenna.
zDo not key the transmit without installing the antenna. The
transmitter components may be damaged.
zWhen using an antenna other than the one supplied, or
connecting to an external antenna, ensure that the SWR is
adjusted to 1.5 or lower.
Attaching the Belt Clip
1. Attach the belt clip on the back of transceiver using the supplied screws (two).
Belt Clip
Supplied Screws
Strap Hole for commercially
available strap
Use a hand strap which can withstand the weight of the transceiver. If you use a hand strap
which is not strong enough, the hand strap can break and the transceiver may fall down,
causing injury, breakage and other troubles.

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by
connecting the SAD-11 or SAD-18B Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the
EXT DC jack. It takes about 6 hours to charge the SBR-24LI battery pack fully.
The optional Rapid Charger Cradle (SBH-28) requires about 2.5 hours to charge the SBR-
24LI battery pack.
Charging the Battery Pack using the Battery Charger
1. Install the battery pack to the transceiver.
2. Turn the transceiver off.
3. Insert the plug of the battery charger (SAD-11
or SAD-18B) into the EXT DC IN jack of the
transceiver.
Charging starts.
While the battery is being charged, the Mode/
Status Indicator lights red, and the display
indicates “ CHGING”.
The charge level is indicated by bar graph.
It takes about 6 hours to charge the battery
pack fully.
When charging is completed, the display will
change to indicate “CHGFUL” and the lamp
will glow green.
4. When charging is complete, remove the plug
of the battery charger from the jack of the
transceiver.

zThe supplied SAD-11 or SAD-18B battery charger is not adequate to operate the transmit
and receive while charging the battery pack.
zCharging may cause noise in a nearby TV or radio.
zCharge the battery pack with the battery charger as far away as possible from a TV or
radio.
zIf “CHGERR” appears on the LCD and the battery pack is not charged after a lapse of 11 or
more hours, stop charging the battery pack immediately.
zIf the same message appears again, the battery pack is presumed to be at the end of its
service life, or defective. In this case, replace the battery pack with a new one.
zWhile charging the battery pack, protect the transceiver from water.
zCharge the battery pack in a place where the ambient temperature is +5 °C to +35 °C
(+41 °F to +95 °F).
zIf the terminal or electrode of the battery case is dirty, this transceiver can malfunction due
to poor contact, resulting in overheating or rupture. If the terminal or electrode gets dirty,
clean it using a dry cloth or cotton swab.

zThe battery pack is rechargeable about 300 times. However, improper use such as
overcharge or over-discharge can shorten its service life.
zThe battery pack is a consumable item. Recharging the battery pack repeatedly will
gradually reduce the charge capacity and duration of its use.
zIf the transceiver is not used for a long period of time with the battery pack installed,
deterioration of the battery pack can accelerate.
zIf the transceiver is unused for a long period of time, be sure to store it with the battery
pack removed.
zWhen the transceiver and battery are stored for an extended period, install the battery pack
biannually and recharge the battery pack about 50% to prevent it from over-discharging.
zStoring the battery pack in a high-temperature environment can accelerate deterioration.
