Getting Started
Install & Remove the Battery
Installing Battery Pack
Clip off the back cover from the top groove.
Insert the battery pack with the contact on the battery aligned
to those in the radio.
Replace the cover until all sides clip in.
Install & Remove the headset / programming cable
Open the SP / MIC cover and then plug in the accessory firmly
into the side jack.
If you want to remove the accessory, unplug it gently and
close the SP/MIC cover.
Charging the Battery
When the batte
ry capacity runs low, the radio will announce “Please change the battery”
There are 2 ways to recharge the radio:
Using desktop cradle
: Plug the cable from mains adaptor into the back of the desktop cradle
and then insert the radio in the cradle. Light on the cradle will show RED when charging and
GREEN when full.
Direct plug in
: Plug in the cable for the mains adaptor into the side mini USB charge socket.
Light on the radio will show RED when charging and GREEN when full.
Only use the supplied charging adaptors to recharge the radio and battery.
Note that the desktop cradle has a slot to recharge a battery separately. Insert the battery at a slight
angle and match the contacts.
CHARGE TIME
is approximately 3 hours from flat to full.
OPERATING TIME
is approximately 25 hours with a fully charged battery if used typically on a 5:5:90
duty cycle on 0.5W power.
Note:
1. Make sure the radio is switched off during charging or the charging time will be longer and number
of possible battery charge cycles reduced.
2. Li-ion batteries do not have memory so they can be recharged at any time. There are a limited
number of charge cycles that the battery can handle, typically 500-700 times. To get the maximum
use of the battery, only recharge when getting flat. If an almost full battery is recharged, the charging
cycles are not optimized.
