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. The radio consumes
energy when it is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully
charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery
has been fully charged.
