Powering the transceiver:
Your FR-214 radio transceiver kit includes three rechargeable AA batteries (RBP-214)
and a charging station. You may operate your FR-214 using the rechargable batteries
included or you may use alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better
performance than the rechargable batteries.
Installing the batteries:
To install batteries into the radio, it is necessary to remove the belt clip. To do this you
will need to rotate its thumbscrew counterclockwise. Next, release the battery
compartment lock on the bottom of the transceiver by sliding it outward. The battery
cover can now be removed by sliding it downward towards the bottom of the transceiver.
Observe the polarity symbols on the bottom of the tray when inserting the batteries and
replace the cover. Remember to lock the cover in place with the latch and replace the
belt clip.
