TX6160 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TX6160TP
The dual desktop charger (BCD021) supplied with the TX6160TP will charge two fully discharged battery
packs to full capacity in around 8 hours. The battery packs are charged sequentially (around 4 hours
each) starting with the front battery. Once the front battery has charged, the charger will automatically
switch to the rear battery.
Note: When charging a single battery pack, the front slot should be used.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. Place one radio into the front slot and the second radio into the rear slot. The left LED will
light red conrming the battery in the front slot is now charging and the right LED will light
amber indicating the battery in the rear slot is on standby.
2. Once the front battery has charged, the left LED will become green and the right LED
will switch to red indicating the rear battery is now charging. Once the rear battery has
charged, the right LED will also change to green.
Once the batteries are fully charged they can be left on the charger until they are needed.
Note: When charging two battery packs, the battery in the front slot has priority and will be charged rst.
If the red LED does not light when the battery is rst inserted, the battery voltage may be too low to begin
a normal charge cycle. In this case simply leave the battery on the charger until the charger has raised the
battery voltage to an acceptable level. The red LED will then light and the normal charge cycle will begin.
If the LED ashes red or Amber while charging, a fault condition has been detected. Try removing the battery
then reinserting it. If the LED continues to ash, remove the battery and contact your GME service centre for
advice.
BATTERY USAGE
The time taken to discharge the battery pack will depend on how you use the radio. The battery pack
supplied is powerful enough for a full day’s use under average conditions using low power. The sections
that follow provide directions and recommendations on the optimal use of the battery pack.
