Charging methods
The radio may be powered
on
or
off
during charging.
Attach the Charger cable to the connector at the base of the radio or place the
radio with battery attached into a charging dock. During charging, the tri-
coloured LED on the radio indicates the charging progress and the
charging
icon appears on the status line, providing there is sufficient charge
in the battery to support this function.

Solid Red
Battery has failed to charge and may be not be chargable.
Contact your service provider or PowerTrunk.
The battery may be charged separately from the radio using a battery-only
charger.
Charging a 'flat' battery
If the battery is completely 'flat' (without charge) during storage or after a
long period of non-activity, it may fail to recharge or stop charging after 20
minutes. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the charger (or
power
off
the charger, then power
on
) to reset the battery.
Tip:
Avoid charging a flat battery attached to a radio. During charging,
the radio will attempt to power
on
when the battery charge reaches a
certain capacity, which will drain the battery of its charge.
Fitting the battery
Ensure that the Smart/microSD card compartment cover is securely latched
before fitting the battery.
If a belt clip is fitted to the radio, lift the belt clip before attempting to fit the
battery. Do not attempt to insert the battery into the battery compartment
