To prevent the possibility of being in an emergency situation with a TR20 

equipped with a used battery, we strongly recommend storing an extra bat-

tery, in lifeboats and rafts. Store this battery without breaking the sealing. 

Special care

The primary battery is of a high-energy lithium type, and some precautions 

must be taken. Do not heat above 70

°

C, recharge, crush, disassemble or in-

cinerate. This may result in fire, explosion and severe burn hazard.

Do not throw used batteries overboard, but return them to your local dealer.

capacity of 7.2V / 1500mAh. The battery is supplied uncharged and must be 

charged before use.

After recharging the battery, it can be used in the same way as the primary 

battery unit. The battery condition indicator on the main display shows the 

approximate status of the battery’s charging condition, and will indicate when 

it is time for recharging.

Please refer to chapter 3.4 for battery replacement.

3.5.2  CHARGING THE SECONDARY BATTERY

The charger RCH-20 is a dual slot quick charger. The charger will accept 

a complete radio or the battery alone (see fig. 3.6.2). If two batteries are 

present, the charger will automatically start fast charging the second battery
