2. Use only chargers certified for use with
your Alpha One
TM
radio and battery. When
the charger’s LED illuminates red, it is an
indication that the battery is being correctly
charged. When the LED illuminates green, the
battery charge is complete.
Steps for setting up your charger
1. Plug the adapter’s AC connector into the AC
outlet socket.
2. Plug the adapter’s DC connector into the
DC socket on the back of the charger.
3. Place the radio with the battery attached, or
the battery alone, in the charger.
4. Make sure the battery contact is touching
the charging terminals. The charging process
begins when the red LED light illuminates.
5. The green LED light will illuminate
approximately one hour later, indicating the
battery is fully charged.
ANTENNA INFORMATION
Stubby (3”) antennas are ideal for
communication within limited range, and
standard (6”) antennas optimize coverage;
the longer the antenna, the better the
coverage is. If you use a stubby antenna for
convenience instead of a standard length
antenna, you can expect approximately a
30% reduction in coverage. When using a
two-way radio outdoors, heavy rain, snow,
buildings or thick forest can dramatically
reduce radio coverage.
