Charging and caring for batteries 127
DRAFT 4
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger.
You can receive a call while the radio is in the charger,
but your radio performance may be degraded. If you
do remove the radio from the charger to answer a call,
the call will not be disrupted.
Removing the radio from the charger to make or
receive a call ends the charging process. Charging
safely recommences when the radio is reinserted into
the charger.
If a radio was turned on while being charged, the
battery indicator may not be accurate when the radio
is initially removed from the charger. After a few
seconds, the battery indicator is updated to display
the amount of charge available in the battery.
Low battery warning
Notice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge
every time you use it, or you will shorten the service
life of the battery.
When the battery is low, your radio warns you in the
following ways:
■ The battery icon on the radio display looks
empty.
■ The status LED on the radio slowly flashes red.
■ A high-pitched beep sounds.
You should recharge or replace the battery as soon as
possible. When the battery is completely empty, the
message Battery is flat appears on the display. The
radio emits a long, low-pitched beep and then stops
working. Turn off the radio immediately.
