Application and Installation
The battery release button is one of the most frequently used components on a portable radio, experiencing hundreds or thousands of actuations over the radio's service life. Common signs that replacement is needed include a broken or cracked button, loss of the textured grip surface, visible wear or damage to the plastic body, or a button that no longer returns properly after being pressed. A damaged release button can make battery changes difficult or impossible, potentially leaving operators without the ability to swap batteries in the field.
The square design with recessed icons provides visual and tactile reference for proper battery orientation and latch operation. The textured surface ensures reliable operation even when wearing gloves or in marine environments where wet conditions are common. A properly functioning release button is critical for field operations where quick battery changes may be necessary during emergency situations or extended operations.
Replacement is moderately straightforward and can be performed by experienced radio technicians or technically proficient users. The radio housing must be partially disassembled to access the battery latch assembly. The button installs into the housing with its mounting tab engaged in the housing slot, working in conjunction with an internal spring to provide smooth press-and-release operation. Care must be taken to ensure the button properly engages with the battery latch mechanism and that the spring is correctly positioned for reliable operation.
This genuine Icom replacement part is ideal for radio service centers, fleet maintenance teams, and organizations that maintain their own communication equipment across multiple radio models. Regular inspection of the battery release button helps prevent field failures and ensures reliable battery changes when operators need them most.
