Your radios are equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack
which can be recharged using a desktop charger (as described
below). While charging, the Battery Meter will flash from 1 to 3 bars.
The Battery Meter will stop flashing when charging is complete. For
maximum battery life, Midland recommends charging the battery
pack when the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from
the charger when the charging is finished.
To charge using the Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the radios into the desktop charger slot. While charging, the
Battery Meter will flash from 1 to 3 bars, and stop flashing when
charging is finished.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged with the radio
turned OFF.
1. Only use the Midland NiMH battery pack.
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries
or battery packs other than the one indicated in the
manual. This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your radio has a BATTERY LEVEL METER that shows the
battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the
stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low, the Battery
Shell icon and “bt Lo” will flash in the display indicating your
battery pack should be replaced or recharged.
