Charging the Battery
Use only the charger supplied with the radio, or other VL50 radio power accessories. For
optimum battery life, do not charge the battery for prolonged periods after it is fully charged.
Charging the battery over the weekend is acceptable.
Using the Drop-in Charger
1. Place the charger on a flat surface.
2. Insert the plug of the power cord into the jack on
the charger.
3. Plug the cord into an AC outlet.
4. Turn the radio off. If the radio is on while charging,
it will take longer to fully charge.
5. Insert the radio (with battery installed) into the
front charging pocket.
Note: The radio will fit in the charger with the
holster on.
The drop-in charger will also sequentially charge a spare 56557 Li-Ion battery. The spare
battery will not begin to charge until the radio battery is fully charged. Both batteries will
charge in approximately 2–6 hours.
