ChaRging the BatteRy

the battery is a built-in design and is not user serviceable. if 
the battery requires replacing, the radio should be returned 
to GmE for service to ensure the waterproof integrity of the 
radio is maintained.

to Charge the Battery

pull the connector cap on the top panel (between the Volume 
control and the antenna) to expose the charging socket. plug 
the supplied ac adaptor into the 240V power then connect 
the adaptor’s charger plug into the socket on the top of  
the radio.

while the charger is connected the display will show the 
battery charging state by animating the battery icon.

iMPoRtant: 

the connector used to charge the GX800 is a 

mini usB type charging at 8V (instead of the customary 5V 
normally associated with this connector). 

For this reason, 

•   Do not connect your GX800 charger to other mini USB 

devices as damage may occur to your device. 

•   Do not remove the warning label fitted to the charging 

lead on the GX800 charger.
