Your LXT-300/315 radio operates with either four AAA alkaline batteries or a
NiMH rechargeable battery pack. To install the batteries:

off of the unit. Then un-lock the locking-latch, and remove the battery
cover.

shown. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the radio from
operating and can damage the unit.
3. Return the battery cover and lock the locking latch.
