The battery charger's pocket will accommodate either a radio with
a battery attached or a battery alone. Prior to charging a battery
with radio, turn the radio off. Batteries charge best at room
temperature.
Charging Procedure
1. Plug the charger end of the power supply cord into the power
receptacle located at the back of the charger (refer to
Figure 1).
2. Plug the wall receptacle end of the power supply cord into the
appropriate AC outlet. A successful power-up sequence is
indicated by a SINGLE GREEN BLINK on the charger
indicator.
3. Insert a battery, or a radio with battery (radio turned off), into
the charger's pocket by:
a. aligning the groove on each side of the battery with the
corresponding raised rail on each side of the charger
pocket
b. pressing the battery toward the rear of the pocket
c. sliding the battery into the charger pocket, ensuring
complete contact between the charger and battery
contacts.
4. When the battery is properly seated in the pocket, the charger
LED will light red to indicate that the battery is charging rapidly.
When the battery is 90 % charged, the LED will begin to blink
green to indicate that the battery is trickle charging. When the
battery is fully charged, the LED will change to a steady green
light to indicate that the battery is fully charged. Refer to the
charging indicators in Table 1.
5. To remove a radio or battery from the charger, use both hands
- hold and support the charger with one hand and remove the
radio or battery with the other hand.
Note: Even though new batteries might prematurely indicate a
full charge (steady green LED), charge the battery for 14 to
16 hours prior to initial use for best performance.
Batteries will charge best at room temperature.
