BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging your Battery
When the battery level is very low, a blinking red
LED indicator lights up during transmit mode,
and an alert tone sounds. You will need to
recharge the battery before you can continue to
use your radio.
Place the radio with the battery attached or the
battery alone in the charger. The charger’s LED
indicator will indicate the charging progress.
NOTE:
Since new batteries or batteries that have
not been used for several months could
prematurely indicate full charge (solid green
LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours
prior to initial use to achieve optimal
performance.
