Charging the battery
You charge the battery with the supplied desktop charger which is
connected to 230 Volt main current via the AC adapter. Connect the
cable of the AC adapter on the back of the desktop charger. The
battery is then inserted in the back of the charger. The charger can
be used to charge a radio with battery or just a battery.
The radio should be turned off during charging. Allow, if possible,
the battery to fully discharge before recharging it. The battery will
be fully charged after approx. 12 hours. You should then remove the
battery from the charger.
To ensure that the battery works well it’s important that you correctly
charge and discharge it.
The red light diode of the charger should glow when charging.

Check that the connectors on the back of the battery are touch-
ing the connectors of the charger.

A new battery doesn’t reach its maximum capacity until it has
been charged/discharged 3–4 times.

The battery charger is for indoor use only.

If the battery isn’t charged for some time it looses capacity
through self-discharge, up to 25% in one week. Therefore always
charge the battery at least once a month.

Don’t overcharge the battery. Interrupt the charging after 12
hours.
