Attach the belt clip on the back of transceiver using the supplied screws (two). zBe sure to use the supplied screws when attaching the belt clip. If any other screws are used, the belt clip cannot be secured firmly to the battery pack and the transceiver may drop off together with the battery pack; the transceiver and battery pack may fall off, causing injury, breakage and other damage. zUse a hand strap which can withstand the weight of the transceiver. If the hand strap is not strong enough, the it may break and the transceiver may fall, causing injury, breakage and other difficulty.Supplied ScrewsStrap Hole for commerciallyavailable strapBelt ClipInstalling the Battery Pack1. ①Referring to the figure at the right, insert the battery pack into the seals of the battery compartment on the back of the transceiver.2. ②Push the battery pack in until the battery latch clicks securely.①②Removing the Battery Pack1.
