150 Charging and caring for batteries
Charging a battery for the first
time
Fully charge a battery before using it for the first time.
The red LED stays lit while the battery charges.
Charging a battery
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger (not for battery-
only vehicle charger).
1 Desktop charger: Connect the charger to the
correct Tait power adaptor.
6-way charger and vehicle charger:
Power on the charger.
Initially, all three LEDs are lit for 2 seconds.
2 Place just a battery in the charger, or a radio with
a battery attached (desktop charger or 6-way
charger only). There is no need to remove a belt
clip, antenna, or any accessory that is attached to
the accessory connector.
The red LED lights up, and stays lit while the
battery charges.
When charging is complete, the green LED stays
lit.
