Charging the batteries
Before charging batteries, make sure the battery switch
inside the battery compartment is placed in the NiMH
position and that rechargeable NiMH batteries are
being used. After inserting the batteries into the battery
compartment, simply connect the radio to a wall socket
to charge the batteries. The battery indicator will blink
green while the batteries are being charged and will
continuously be lit green when the batteries are fully
charged. If the radio is in the Standby mode, it will show
icons for all batteries and charging progress is displayed.
Fully charging a set of batteries will take approximately
6 hours. This time may vary, however, depending on the
capacity of the batteries.
The battery indicator will light red when the radio's
batteries are low and the radio's display will show the
message "Low Battery". In this case the batteries need to
be charged or replaced soon. If an error occurs while the
batteries are being charged, the radio's battery indicator
will blink red. Furthermore, in the Standby mode the
radio's display will show a white battery icon with a red "X"
to indicate which battery is causing the issue. Replace this
battery to solve the issue and then reconnect the radio's
power adapter to ensure the batteries are being charged.
