Introduction 5 Antenna Installation and Removal Before installing the antenna, ensure that the match between your radio and antenna is correct. Your radio’s model number is on a label attached to the back of your radio. A typical model number might be H09UCC9PW5AN. The fourth position of the model number (in this example “U”) identifies the operating-frequency band of the radio. The following table lists all fourth- position alpha characters and corresponding frequency band. Antennas are frequency sensitive and are color coded according to the frequency range of the antenna. The color code indicator is in the center of the base of the antenna. The following illustrations and table will help identify the antenna, antenna frequency range, and corresponding color code.

Introduction 7 Battery Installation and Removal The battery is shipped uncharged, and must be charged before use. Refer to the “Battery Charging and Disposal” section on page 72. Installing the Battery 1.Turn off the radio and hold it with the back of the radio facing upward. 2.Insert the top edge of the battery into the area at the top of the radio between the radio’s case and chassis. Make sure the three tabs on the radio chassis align with the three slots under the top edge of the battery. 3.Rotate the battery toward the radio, and squeeze the battery and radio together until the battery “clicks” in place. Removing the Battery 1.Turn off the radio and hold it so that the release button on the bottom of the battery is facing upward. 2.Press downward on the release button so that the battery disengages from the radio. 3.Remove the battery completely away from the radio WARNING To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in an area labeled “hazardous atmosphere.” DO NOT discard batteries in a fire. ! CAUTION If your radio is programmed with volatile-key retention (consult your service technician), encryption keys will be retained for approximately 30 seconds after battery removal. ! Note
8 Introduction Belt-Clip Installation and Removal The battery must be removed from the radio before the belt clip can be installed or removed. Installing the Belt Clip 1.Hold the battery in one hand so that the top of the battery faces upward, and the back of the battery faces you. 2.Holding the belt clip in the other hand with its top facing upward, align the slide assembly on the front of the belt clip with the slots on the back of the battery. 3.Slide the belt clip downward toward the bottom of the battery until the belt clip “clicks” in place. Removing the Belt Clip 1.Hold the battery (with belt clip installed) in one hand so that the top of the battery faces upward, and the front (radio side) of the battery faces you. 2.At the top of the battery, press down on the belt clip’s metal tab and slide the belt clip upward until it disengages from the battery. 3.Continue to slide the belt clip upward until it is free from the battery.

Introduction 9 Universal Connector Cover Installation and Removal Installing the Universal Connector Cover 1.Looking at the antenna side of the radio, insert the top (flat) hooked end of the cover into the slot on the top of the radio, above the universal connector. Press downward on the cover’s top to seat it in the slot. 2.While holding the cover seated in the top slot, insert the cover’s bottom (rounded) hooked end into the slot below the universal connector. Press firmly inward on the cover’s bottom until it snaps in place. Removing the Universal Connector Cover 1.Looking at the antenna side of the radio, insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the area between the lower end of the universal connector cover and the slot below the universal connector. 2.Pry upward on the cover’s lower end until it disengages from the radio. CAUTION When the universal connector is not in use, keep it covered with the universal connector cover. ! Top Slot Bottom Slot Top Hooked End Bottom Hooked End

General Radio Operation
After a fully-charged battery and an antenna have been connected to the
radio, operation may begin. If necessary, refer to page 2 to insure a complete
understanding of the radio’s controls and indicators. Also, for your
convenience, the “Additional Information” section (starting on page 67)
contains a glossary, alert tone and status indicator tables, helpful tips, and
an index.
Turning the Radio On and Off
• Radio On
