Recharging the NIMH battery pack
PB70 PRO 700 mAh
Place your transceiver into the cradle of the desktop charger.
A complete recharge takes about 3 hours.
There’s no evidence when the recharge is finished, therefore we suggest you
detach the wall adaptor from the radio or remove XT70 PRO from the desktop
charger cradle after 4 hours.
Recharging process
While the radio is being charged, the battery icon on the display will be blinking.
When the recharge is complete, the battery icon will be steady and will show
all its bars.
Memory eect of rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydrate) batteries are aected by what
is known as the “memory eect”. This phenomenon is associated with a drastic
reduction of battery autonomy and is triggered if the batteries are regularly
charged before being fully discharged and/or are not completely recharged. To
avoid the memory eect:
• When possible, recharge the batteries only when they are completely di-
scharged (until the device turns itself o during normal use)
• Do not disconnect the battery charger before the time indicated for a full
battery charge.
The memory eect should not be confused with the normal battery life, which
is 300-400 cycles of charge/discharge on average. It is completely normal for
operating duty to decrease when the batteries have reached the end of their life;
at this point, you will need to substitute the batteries.
Installing/removing the battery pack
1. Remove the belt clip;
2. Open the battery compartment;
3. Remove or insert the battery pack;
