2-3 Lithium Ion Battery Pack [EBP-60] (Option)

Please refer to the instruction manual that comes with the battery pack for operating and charging procedures.

Caution

•Manganese batteries are not recommended as they may decrease the transmission output level.

•Be sure to observe proper orientation of the batteries polarity (+/-).

•Latest generation dry cells such as "Oxiride" batteries can be used.

•Ni-MH rechargeable cells are also usable. Please carefully read instructions of its manufacturer to properly use them. •Regardless of the type of battery you use, please:

1.Never mix the type, brand, or different status of use. 2.Never remove protective materials around cells. 3.Clean the contacts with a dry cloth once in a while to

obtain best performance.

4.Respect all the instructions given by battery manufacturer for safe and proper use.

•The default setting of the battery pack type is "bAt-1" which is for AA type cells. When using Lithium Ion battery pack, select the battery type setting to "bAt-2" in the Setting mode (page 26, ITEM No.16) to correctly indicate the battery level icon.

Reference : Due to the amplification circuitry used in this unit to obtain high output with only 2 batteries, it may happen that the unit cannot be turned on when the battery voltage is getting low (while the low-battery icon is on the display), but not completely discharged yet. This is not a defect but we recommend that:

•When the low-battery icon appears, recharge or replace the batteries.

•When the low-battery icon appears, try not to turn off the radio until fully use up the battery power.

When they are completely discharged the display will turn off.
