Replacing A Charging Pod
The charging pod is made from quality materials and designed to provide years of service
when properly used. In most cases, the charging pod will only be replaced when you want
to use the charger with a different battery. Each pod charges two batteries for a specific
radio; the two batteries may have different capacities or chemistries.
Follow these steps to change the charging pod:
1. Obtain a charging pod made specifically for the TWC12M. Confirm that the charging pod is
compatible with the battery you want to charge.
2. Unplug the power supply from the TWC12M.
3. The charging pod is secured to the base with a single screw. Turn the locking screw on the bot-
tom of the rear charging pod counter-clockwise until it no longer holds the pod. Lift the charging
pod from the charging base.
4. Insert the replacement charging pod into the charging base and secure with the locking screw.
Do not over tighten the screw.
5. Inspect the charging contacts to ensure they are clean and unobstructed.
6. Connect the power supply to the TWC12M. You are now ready to charge a battery compatible
with the charging pod.
