2. BATTERY INFORMATION                                                                           

2.1 Charging the Battery Pack   

The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the 

first time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal 

maximum  operating  capacity.  Best  operation  will  require  fully  charging/  discharging  the  battery  two  or  three 

times before the operating capacity will reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when     

it’s operating time decreases even though it has been fully and correctly charged. If this is the case, replace the 

battery pack.   

2.2 Charger Supplied   

Please use the specified charger provided by Pofung. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After 

installing the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.   

2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery   

a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from 

the battery pack, as Pofung cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.   

b.  The  ambient  temperature  should  be  between  5

-40

  (40˚F  -  105˚F)  while  charging  the  battery.  Charging 

outside this range may not fully charge the battery.   

c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.   

d.  To  avoid  interfering  with  the  charging  cycle,  please  do  not  cut  off  the  power  or  remove  the  battery  during 

charging until the green light is on.   

e. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage 

the battery pack.   

f. Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid damage. 

WARNING

   

When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may become 

damage or injure a human. If the battery terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat. Take care 

when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not 

put it into a metal container.   

2.4 How to Charge   

a. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the AC adaptor into the DC jack located on 

the back of the charger. The indicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.   

b.  Plug  the  battery  or  the  radio  into  the  charger.  Make  sure  the  battery  terminals  are  good  in  contact  with 

charging terminals. The indicator light turns to red--- charging begins.   

c.

  It  takes  approximately  2-5  hours  to  fully  charge  the  battery.  When  the  lamp  lights  green,  the  charging  is 

completed. Remove the battery or the radio unit with its battery from socket. 

 

When  charging  a  radio  (with  battery)  the  indicating  lamp  will  not  turn  into  green  to  show  the  fully  charged 

status if the radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation.
