Battery Charging and Care
To ensure peak performance from your radio, the battery pack
must be fully charged. Proper care and charging will allow
maximum performance and life from your battery pack.
The GMRS-50 comes standard with a desktop charger. Turn radio
off and insert into charger. The charging cycle with this charger is
overnight (12-16 hours).
The optional QPA-1130 Dual Slot /Dual Rate Desktop Charger
provides quick charging in 1.5 hours and normal "slow" charging.
The charger has two wells, one accommodates a radio with battery
attached; the other is for a battery removed from the radio.
See accompanying instructions included with these chargers for
more information.
To receive maximum performance from your radio and battery
pack, periodically completely discharge and recharge the battery
pack.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Hold the radio face down in your hand.
To attach the battery
pack,
pick up the pack by the sides and hold it so that the four
charging contacts are facing upward, positioned toward the bottom.
Visually locate the "up" arrows embossed inside the radio, then
place the pack onto the radio, positioning the top of the pack to
slightly cover the arrows. Using your fingertips, ensure the pack is
flush with the radio sides. The channels in the pack will align with
the guides on the radio.
Slide the battery pack upward slowly. A click will verify that
the battery pack is securely positioned.
Remove the battery pack
by holding the radio face down in your
hand. Slide and hold the battery latch (at the base of radio) then
gently apply pressure to move the battery pack slightly downward.
The pack will release from the radio's guide rails. Lift the battery
pack straight up and away from the radio.
