PERFORMANCE
Your transceiver will achieve its maximum operating range when communicating with other transciever(s) in a flat open area with no trees or buildings obstructing its signal. Range may be up to two miles under such conditions. Obstacles such as buildings, trees or mountains will tend to reduce the transceiver’s effective range.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your FR-314 may be powered by the BAT-314 rechargeable bat­tery pack or three alkaline “AA” cells. Alkaline batteries will pro­vide the best performance from your transceiver. Remove the battery cover by rotating and removing the belt clip. Unsnap the battery compartment clasp, and lift the battery cover from the transceiver. Be careful not to lose the belt clip retainer. Observe the polarity symbols inside the battery tray when installing the battery pack or alkaline batteries. Remember to lock the battery compartment clasp in place when finished.

THE FR-314’s CHARGING STAND
The FR-314 transceiver kit includes a high capacity nickel metal hydride battery pack and charging stand. The charging stand is designed for use only with the Audiovox BAT-314 battery pack. Never attempt to charge other batteries with the charging stand.
The FR-314’s four step battery strength indicator will display the current state of charge of the batteries or battery pack in the unit. 3 solid bars indicates a full charge, one or no bars indicates a low charge.
To charge your BAT-314 battery pack, plug the AC adapter into a household electrical outlet, and insert the DC output connector into the receptacle at the base of the charging stand. Before placing the transceiver into the charging stand, be sure it has been turned off. Once the FR-314 is placed in the charging stand, the charge rate indicator on the charging stand will begin to flash, confirming the charging process. The charge rate indicator will flash rapidly, when the battery charge is low. As the BAT-314 battery pack charges, the indicator will flash at a slower rate. A fully charged battery pack is indicated by a flash rate of once every 15 seconds. When charging a deeply discharged battery pack, several beep tones may be heard during the first moments of charging.
Nickel metal hydride batteries do not have a “memory” so the BAT­314 battery pack can be charged at any time, regardless of its current state of charge
THE BELT CLIP
The FR-314 Family Radio Kit includes a quick release belt clip. This can be used to secure the radio to a belt or pocket. The clip allows quick access to the transceiver at all times. To use the belt clip, attach it to a belt or shirt pocket, then slide the round hinge retainer into the slot on the belt clip. A click sound will be heard when the transceiver is locked in place. The belt clip will hold the tranceiver securly, while allowing it to rotate from side to side. To release the tranceiver, rotate it 180 degrees and lift it straight upwards.
