in one of two ways:

information, see Placing a Talkman Terminal into a Terminal Charger.
Remove the battery from the terminal and place the battery into a battery charger.

Normal state; the battery is not ready to be
charged; a battery is not ready to be charged if it
is too cold, too hot, or if it is completely dead.
The charger waits for the battery to warm up,
cool off, or partially charge before it begins fast
charging (at which point the left LED indicator
turns solid red).
The following information details the
length of time that it will take for a
cold battery to warm up enough to
begin fast charging:
If the battery was being used
at -4°C (24.8°F), it will take
approximately 6 minutes for
the battery to warm up.
If the battery was being used
at -10°C (14.0°F), it will take
approximately 10 minutes for
the battery to warm up.
If the battery was being used
at -20°C (-4.0°F), it will take
approximately 22 minutes for
the battery to warm up.
If the battery was being used at -
30°C (-22.0°F), it will take
approximately 30 minutes for the
battery to warm up.
