Getting Started
Note: If the cradle is connected to unswitched power, leaving the terminal
in the cradle for an extended period of time will eventually deplete
the vehicle battery.
Charging Spare Batteries
A spare battery can be charged using either of the single-slot cradles (CRD8000-1000S or
CRD8000-1000M), the four-slot cradles (CHS8000-4000B or CRD8000-4000E), the
vehicle cradle (VCD8000-R000) or the UBC Adaptor (p/n 21-32665-33).
Caution
Do not charge a battery that is below 0° C (32° F) or above 45° C (113° F).
Allow the battery to warm up to room temperature before charging.
Using the Single-Slot Cradles
1. Connect the cradle to a power source.
2. Slide the latches on both sides of the battery up, to ensure they are in the unlock
position.
3. Insert the battery into the Spare Battery Charging slot on the back of the cradle.
Position it with the charging contacts facing down (over charging pins) and gently
press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.
