Testing the Battery Power
1. Turn on the TRC-236 by rotating
OFF/VOLUME clockwise until it clicks.
2. Hold down BATT TEST . If the indica-
tor lights, there is enough battery
power to operate the CB. If the indi-
cator is dim or does not light, replace
or recharge the batteries.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
You can use a battery charger, Cat. No.
23-249 (not supplied), to charge or re-
charge nickel-cadmium batteries while
they are inside the TRC-236’s battery
compartment.
Do not use the TRC-236 while you are
charging the nickel-cadmium batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only the recommended battery
charger to recharge the batteries in
the TRC-236. Other chargers could
damage your TRC-236 or the batter-
ies.
• Be careful not to overcharge nickel-
cadmium batteries.
• To prevent damage to rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries, never
charge them in an area where the
temperature is above 90°F (32°C) or
below 40°F (4.5°C).
