BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging the Battery
If a battery is new or its charge level is very
low, you need to charge it before you can use
it.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
factory. Always charge a new battery 14
to 16 hours before initial use, regardless
of the status indicated by the charger.
To charge the battery:
Place the battery, with or without the radio, in
the charger. The charger LED indicates the
charging progress:
