Charging the battery before first use
Before using your battery for the first time, you must
charge it. Follow the instructions included with your
Tait charger. This information is repeated in the section
"Charging and caring for batteries" on page 116.
For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger.
Attaching the battery
Notice Fit the bottom edge of the battery to the radio,
then the top edge. Attempting to fit the top edge first
may damage the contacts.
1 Rotate the power/volume control switch
counterclockwise to turn off the radio.
If the battery has been attached while the radio is
turned on, turn the radio off and then on again
before use.
2 Holding the radio firmly, align the back of the battery
with the back of the chassis.
3 Place the two lugs at the bottom edge of the battery
into the two slots in the bottom of the front panel.
