Charging and caring for batteries 135
You should recharge or replace the battery as soon
as possible. When the battery is completely empty,
the message
Battery is flat appears on the display.
The radio emits a long, low-pitched beep and then
stops working. Turn off the radio immediately.
Notice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge
every time you use it, or you will shorten the service
life of the battery.
Charging the battery
Notice If you are charging a battery for the first time,
follow the instructions on page 27.
1 Desktop charger—connect the charger to the
correct Tait power adaptor.
Multicharger and vehicle charger—power on the
charger.
Initially, all three LEDs are lit for two seconds.
2 Place just a battery in the charger, or a radio with
a battery attached. There is no need to remove a
belt clip, antenna, or any accessory that is
attached to the accessory connector.
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger.
