2. Charge the battery in 32 – 90 F (0-45 ·c) temperature. Otherwise the battery may not obtain full charge.
3. Tum off the radio for optimum charging .
4. Do not charge if the battery or radio is wet. Both battery and radio should be dry to avoid danger.

Warning:

Treat any battery carefully when placing into pocket, wallet, or any metal container. Conductive metals such as jewelry, keys, or decorating lace can create a short circuit when coming in contact with battery electrodes causing a large amount of heat.

Charge Operation

Please charge as follows:

1. Turn off the radio. Plug the DC connector of adapter into the DC jack on the rear of the charger.

2. Plug the AC connector of adapter into an AC outlet.

3. After the charger is powered, the LED glows red for 1 second and then goes out. This indicates the charger is ready for normal charging. If the LED flashes red continuously, the charger has encountered an error and will need servicing.

4. Insert the battery or radio equipped with battery into the charger. Make sure the battery has a proper connection with the charger electrodes.

5. LED glows red during normal charging; if LED flashes red this indicates trickle charging because of very low battery condition. After the battery reaches a certain
   amount of capacity from trickle charge, the charger automatically tums to normal charge mode.

6. The battery is fully charged when LED glows green.

Battery Charging Notes
