Figure 5 - Removing the Battery Pack
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACKS
After receiving a new battery pack from the factory, it
should be fully charged before placing it into service.
This also applies to battery packs that have been stored
for long periods of time. When the battery pack requires
charging, the "BAT" indicator in the LCD window will
illuminate and the radio will sound an alert tone.
There are several different styles of charger
available for the PCS radio and each has a different
charge rate. The battery packs may be charged with the
radio still connected or the battery pack can be
disconnected from the radio and charged alone. For
specific operating instructions regarding your charger,
refer to the applicable charger operating manual.
