28 Before using your radio
NiMH batteries
Fully charge (‘prime’) a new NiMH battery before
using it for the first time. Priming takes up to 14 hours
and is most effective if completed without interruption.
Priming takes place between 41 °F
and 113 °F (5 °C and 45 °C).
Notice Tait recommends that you
use a desktop charger or
multicharger, not the vehicle charger,
to prime a battery.
The red (middle) LED flashes while
the battery is priming. If possible, do not interrupt
charging until the green LED is lit.
Li-ion batteries
Fully charge a Li-ion battery before using it for the first
time. This will take up to 2.5 hours. It is not necessary
to prime a Li-ion battery.
The red (middle) LED stays lit while the battery
charges.
Attaching the battery
Warning Use only a Tait-supplied, IS-approved
battery with an IS radio.
1 Insert the lugs at the bottom of the battery into the
holes at the bottom of the radio.
2 Push the top of the battery towards the radio, and
snap it into place.
