permanent damage to your radio.
Using the Battery Charger (Optional Accessory)
The battery charger provides drop-in charging convenience for
NiMH batteries and can be placed on any flat surface, such as a
desk or workbench. Charge the NiMH battery overnight (at least
16 hours) before using it for the first time. After the initial charge,
an empty battery is fully charged within 14 hours.

charger base will glow continuously.
Using the mini-USB Charging Connector
The mini-USB charging connector is a handy port that allows
you to conveniently charge your NiMH battery pack. This is an
alternative to charging your NiMH battery pack in the Battery
Charger desk stand using the AC wall adaptor and especially
useful when used while traveling.
Available mini-USB charging options (Optional Accessories):
1. Wall travel charger
2. Vehicle charger
3. Mini-USB computer cable
If using a computer, the computer must be turned on.
This and other accessories (sold separately) are available for
your radio. For more information, visit our Web site at

1. Plug your mini-USB cable or charger into a power source as
is appropriate for your accessory.
2. Plug the cable into the mini-USB port on the bottom of your
radio.
3. An empty battery will be fully charged in 14 hours.
4. The LED indicator light on the radio will glow to indicate that
the battery is charging.
Notes
•
The light will remain red after the NiMH battery pack is fully
charged.
•
When moving between hot and cold temperatures, do not
charge the NiMH battery pack until the battery temperature
acclimates (usually about 20 minutes).
