Powering the transceiver:

Your GMRS-1535radiotransceiveroperates on fourAAAbatteries. Alkaline

batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable

batteries. OnlyAudiovoxapproved rechargeablebatteries can berecharged

in the radio transceiver using the optional charging stand.

Installing the batteries:

Battery installation is made more convenient when the belt clip is removed.

To do this, release the spring clip securing the belt clip to radio and slide

the belt clip downward and away from the radio body. Next, press down

with the thumb at the arrow, slide the battery cover down and lift off the

battery cover. Insert four AAA batteries (alternate positive ends (+) toward

the bottom of the transceiver, (starting left-to-right).

The following guidelines will improve performance and provide longer

operating times for the GMRS-1535:

1. Do not mix old and new batteries.

2. The use of alkaline-type batteries is recommended to provide the longest

operating time.

3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable

batteries.

4. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the

batteries. Old or leaking batteries can cause damage to the unit and

will void the warranty.
