INSTALLATION
POWER SUPPLY:
The FR-66 is powered by the supplied rechargeable NiMH
battery pack, with a power source of 4.8V (4x AAA)
1. Remove the belt clip by releasing the belt clip latch
and sliding the clip up.
2. Open the battery compartment by pulling
the tab on the bottom. Now remove the
battery cover.
3. Insert the battery pack or batteries
as indicated ensuring correct
polarity (+ and -).
4. Click the battery compartment into
place and attach the belt clip.
CHARGING THE BATTERY:
Connect the round connector of the
adapter into the input jack on the
back of the desktop charger and plug the adapter into a 230V 50Hz
electrical outlet.
Insert the radio(s) into the desktop charger to recharge the battery
pack. The charge indicator light will turn red.
The charging of the FR-66 units is timer-regulated. As soon as the walkie-
talkies are placed into the desktop charger, the red charge indicator lights
will be on and the battery pack will be recharged. If the charge indicator
lights turn green, the battery pack is fully charged. It is not necessary to
wait until the indicator turns green, however it could be that the battery
packs are therefore not fully charged. Every time the walkie-talkies are
placed into the desktop charger, the timer-regulation will start over again,
regardless of whether the battery packs are empty or full. Because the
charging current is electronically limited, there is no risk for overcharging
.

REMOTE MICROPHONE / EARPIECE:
The input jack for the supplied remote microphone and earpiece can
be found on the right side of the FR-66, which is covered by a rubber
cap.
WRIST STRAP:
You can attach the wrist strap to the top of the belt clip.
USING NORMAL BATTERIES:
Normal and rechargeable batteries are compatible with the FR-66.
Insert those batteries as indicated in the battery compartment ensuring
correct polarity (+ and -)
It is possible to place the walkie-talkies in the charge cradles if normal
single AAA (whether or not rechargeable) batteries are used. The only
difference is that the charge LED indicator does not light up.
In case single rechargeable batteries have been placed, please use a
different charger. The FR-66 desktop charger is only compatible with
the supplied battery pack
.
