What is the stated Battery Change Procedure?

• A. Have 1 battery source in always.
• B. Keep two spare batteries in the pouch.
• C. Remove battery before handling
• D. Charge battery for 4 hours before use

Answer: (A)

Maintaining power during a battery swap is the idea being tested. The procedure specifies that a battery source should be in the radio at all times, so you can swap packs without cutting power to the unit. This keeps the radio ready for operation and avoids losing comms during the change.

Carrying two spare batteries or charging cycles aren’t the focus of the change procedure. Keeping a battery in the radio ensures continuous operation, while removing the battery would create a power gap, and charging beforehand is a pre-use step, not the change procedure.
