7-1 Batteries and charger
The radio is shipped with a sealed Li-Polymer battery pack that is rechargeable.
WARNING
The charger provided for this radio is only to be used to charge the battery pack
provided. Do not charge any other type of batteries in the charger as re, explosion
or battery damage could occur. Avoiding extreme room temperature will also help
prolong the life of the battery pack for the radio.
7-1-1 Installing the battery pack
1. Position the battery pack to line up the three external alignment tabs to the
alignment slots in the radio.
2. Engage the battery pack into the radio until battery pack is fully seated against the
radio housing.
3. Pivot the locking tab up until it snaps into place on the back of the battery pack.
7-1-2 Initial charge
You can either charge the Li-Polymer battery
pack when it is attached to the radio or separated:
1. Plug in the AC/DC wall charger- check the voltage is correct for your wall charger.
2. Connect the charging wire into the charging socket on the cradle charger.
3. Insert the entire radio or the separated battery pack into the cradle charger. The
metal charge contacts on the radio will contact the mating prongs in the charger to
transfer the charging current.
4. Observe that the red light on the front of the charger glows to indicate that the
battery pack is properly seated and the charger is operating.
5. Allow the battery to charge for about 2.5 to 3 hours before use. The light will change
back to green when the battery is fully charged.
CAUTION
To maximise battery life: remove the battery from the charger after approximately
3.5 hours. Overcharging batteries may result in damage to both the battery pack and
radio.
