Make sure that the radio sets are switched off during charging.
Only use the charger in closed rooms. Protect it from humidity, dust,
heat and strong vibrations.
Charging in the charging cradle
1. Plug the wall charger into a 230 V socket.
2. Connect the wall charger to the charging cradle.
3. Switch off the radio sets.
4. Place the radio sets into the charging shaft.
The control lamps on the charging cradle emit red light, the battery
cells are now being charged.
Charging via the socket on the side
You may also connect the wall charger directly to the socket at the
side of the radio set to charge the batteries of one device.
1. Plug the wall charger into a 230 V socket.
2. Switch off the radio set.
3. Connect the wall charger to the socket of the radio.
The bars of the battery status indication are blinking, the battery cells
are now being charged.
Charging times
The charging current of this batteries charger is adjusted to approx.
50 mA to 100 mA, the charging time thus depends on whether you
want to charge the batteries of one or two radio sets and the state of
charge and the capacity of the batteries.
With completely discharged battery packs with a capacity of 700 mAh
the battery cells are fully charged after 12-14 hours.
If you want to recharge half-full battery cells, the charging time is only
6-7 hours. If you only put one radio set into the charging cradle, the
charging times are reduced by half because the charging current
doubles from approx. 50 mA to approx. 100 mA!
Notes:
The wall charger does not switch off automatically. Be sure to
terminate the charging in time in order to avoid overcharging of the
battery cells, as repeated overcharging reduces their lifetime. Rechar-
ging of partly discharged battery packs is basically possible; however,
it also reduces their lifetime.
