environments only.
The charging base and AC adaptor are not waterproof. Do not
expose the charger to rain or snow. Charge the radios only in a
dry location. Do not place wet radios into the charging base.
Installing the Batteries

The battery door must be tightly closed with the screw to
maintain the waterproof seal of the 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.

2. Plug the AC power supply cord into the jack on the desk
stand.
3. Plug the AC power supply into a standard wall outlet.
4. With a radio facing forward, slide it into one of the charging
pockets.
5. When charging in the battery charger, the red light on the
charger base will glow continuously.
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).
•
For optimal battery life, remove the radio from the charger
within 16 hours. Do not store the radio while connected to
the charger.
•
If the radio is kept on while charging, the charging time will be
extended.

Even though the charger is connected, you may not be able to
transmit a message if the battery is completely empty
