Use high quality alkaline batteries to enjoy longer periods of battery life. When using an optional battery pack, be sure to set the battery indicator type to battery pack, from its default setting of alkaline batteries. Average alkaline battery life: 24 hours Average battery pack life: 12 hours Average times are calculated using 10% transmit time, 10% receive time, and 80% standby time Note: Before installing/ removing batteries, you must rotate the antenna out of the way (page 6). 1 Release the battery cover lock, then slide the cover away from the transceiver.
