2. Plug the other end of the wall mount adaptor into the appropriate AC power
source.
3. Place the radio into the desktop charger. The metal pads on the radio must
contact the mating pads in the charger.
4. Observe that the red light on the front of the charger glows red to indicate that
the radio is properly seated and the charger is operating in fast charge mode.
5. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 15 hours for initial charge.
CAUTION
The charger is only designed to charge the battery, not power the
radio. You
can
monitor incoming calls while the radio is charging.
However, you should always remove the radio from the charger
before transmitting.
WARNING
The LED on the front of the charger glows green after 4 hours to indicate
the radio is fully charged. However, you should leave your radio in the
charger 12 to 15 hours for initial charge.
