PREPARING THE UNIT FOR FIRST USE
Activating the Unit
Prior to first use, open the Adapter Compartment located on the back of the unit (refer to the illustrations in the “Controls and
Features” section) and then slide the Main Power ON/OFF Switch to the ON position. This switch disables all Radio functions
and battery charging when this is in the OFF position, protecting the battery from draining.
Note:
If the radio will not be used for a long period of time, we recommend first fully charging the unit and then turning the
Main Power ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position to extend the life of the rechargeable battery.
Charging the Unit
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time before using it in
cordless mode. Initial AC charge should be for 24 hours. Follow the directions in the following section.
AC CHARGING/RECHARGING
For maximum battery life, we recommend the unit be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a
discharged state, battery life will be shortened.
• FULLY CHARGE THE UNIT USING THE SUPPLIED 120 VOLT AC CHARGER/ADAPTER BEFORE FIRST USE.
• Recharge the unit fully after each use.
• Recharge the unit every two months when it has not been used regularly.
Note:
Recharging the battery after each use prolongs battery life; frequent discharges between recharges reduces battery life.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the unit, surrounding air temperature should ideally be 5-40°C (41-104°F) when charging.
Viewing Battery Charge Status
Battery Status Icon is located on the LCD DIsplay (refer to the illustration above). When the full icon displays, the unit is fully
charged. As power is used, the Icon displays partially (with the two bars fading from left to right), similar to the charge bars on
a cell phone. The Battery Status Icon flashes when the the unit is charging.
Note:
The unit will shut down automatically after the Battery Status Icon shows empty for 5 minutes in cordless mode.
120 Volt AC Charging Using the AC Power/Charger Adapter
1. Connect the AC Power/Charger Adaptor cube to a standard North American 120 volt wall outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the cord to the AC Power Adapter Receptacle/Charging Port (refer to the illustrations in the
“Controls and Features” section).
a. If the battery icon is empty before charging, the right bar will flash first. As the battery charges, the right bar will display
solid and the left bar will flash. When the battery is fully charged, both bars will display solid.
b. If the right bar was solid before charging (indicating that the battery is partially charged), the left bar will flash. When the
battery is fully charged, both bars will display solid.
3. Once fully charged, disconnect the AC Power/Charger Adapter.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the AC Power/Charger Adapter to rain or moisture.
POWERING THE UNIT
Corded Use
1. Connect the supplied AC Power/Charger Adaptor cube to a standard North American 120 volt wall outlet.
