8.5.1 Battery charger
The RCH-30 battery charger can charge the radio and/or battery. In addition, the
charger also has one extra storage area for an emergency battery.
The battery charger is not waterproof and must therefore be
protected from elements.
The charger will not charge a battery if the battery temperature is
below 0˚C or above 40˚C.
In either case, the rechargeable battery should be left in the charger.
The charger automatically begins to charge when it reaches an
appropriate cell temperature for charging.
To reduce the charging time it is recommended that the battery is
changed at room temperature (15°C to 25°).
