Installing Batteries
Your G-225/227 is equipped to allow using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack (not included)
which can be recharged by an A/C Charger/Adaptor (not included) through the MIC Jack of the
radio, or using a Desktop Charger (not included). Batteries must be charged when the low
battery icon flashes on the display.
Your G-225/227 radio operates with either 4 AAA Alkaline Batteries or optional NiMH
battery Pack. The belt clip should be removed (Page 18) to ease installation or
removal. To install the batteries:
1. With the back of the radio facing you, remove the Battery Cover by sliding it down
from the unit.
2. Insert 4 AAA batteries observing the polarity as shown. Installing the batteries
incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating or can damage the unit.
3. Return the Battery Cover by sliding it up from the unit.
To charge through the MIC Jack :
- Connect the AC Adaptor/Charger into an A/C Wall Outlet
- Insert the Adaptor/Charger jack into the MIC Jack of the radio found at the side of the unit.
To charge through a Desktop Charger:
- Connect the AC Adaptor into an A/C Wall outlet
- Insert the Adaptor Jack into the Desktop charger jack
- Place the units into the Desktop Charger slot and note that the LED indicator of the Desktop
Charger will light up to indicate charging function.
Note: Batteries are not included
Note :
1. Only use batteries indicated in the manual, or our NiMH battery pack. (see page 4)
2. Do not attempt to charge Alkaline batteries or any batteries or battery packs other than the
one indicated in the manual. This may cause leakage and damage the unit.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the unit OFF and remove the batteries from the
radio.
