Chapter2. Charging the Battery
2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time
after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating
capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity
will reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when it’s operating time decreases even though it
has been fully and correctly charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
2.2 Charger Supplied
Please use the specified charger provided by Pofung. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After installing
the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.
2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery
pack, as Pofung cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b. The ambient temperature should be between 5
℃

℃
(40˚F - 105˚F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d. To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until
the green light is on.
e. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery
pack.
