Battery recharge
F17 is equipped for using a 3.7V Li-ion rechargeable battery pack which can be recharged connecting the socket of the
AC/DC wall adaptor to a mains power socket and inserting the jack of the wall adaptor into the desktop charger plug. It
takes 4-5 hours to fully recharge the radio. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the
F17 is off and the battery pack is fully discharged.
Using a different battery charger other than the one specified can cause damage to your device or may even cause
explosions and personal injuries.
The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption of up to 50%. If it has been set, it automatically
activates when the transceiver does not receive any signal for more than 5 seconds in order to save the battery life. Power
saving can be disabled only through Programming software.
