2.4 How to Charge
a. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the AC adaptor into the DC jack located on the back of the charger. The
i
ndicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.
b. Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery terminals are good in contact with charging terminals. The indicator light turns
to red--- charging begins.
c. It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the lamp lights green, the charging is completed. Remove the battery or the radio
unit with its battery from socket.
When charging a radio (with battery) the indicating lamp will not turn into green to show the fully charged status if the radio is powered on. Only
when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation. The radio consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger
cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage
mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery has been fully charged.
