West Marine VHF160 Radio Owner’s Manual
CAUTION: If you are using your radio in a cold-weather
environment, West Marine recommends using non-
rechargeable Lithium batteries.
# When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to
a maximum of 2.5W.
Follow these steps to use the alkaline battery tray:
1) Hold the lower part of the tray in one hand with the three
battery contacts facing down. Use your thumb to hold the
notch on the lower part of the tray.
2) With your other hand, grip the
upper part of the tray and lift the
cover open.
3) Align the batteries’ positive and
negative terminals with the drawing
on the tray and snap each battery
into place.
4) Insert the two hooks on the lower
part
of the tray into the notches on the
cover; close the cover. (The cover ts
snugly but you should not have to
force it closed.)
5) Install the alkaline battery tray in
your radio just as you do the Li-Ion
Polymer battery (see page E-15).
WARNING! The tray is designed to prevent the
accidental charging of alkaline batteries. Never
use alkaline batteries in the radio without the
alkaline battery tray. Do not attempt to modify the
battery tray design.
