Charging The Optional Battery Pack; Battery Level Indicator - Midland X-Tra Talk LXT480 Series Owner's Manual

CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK

Your LXT480 Series is equipped for using an optional rechargeable
NiMH battery pack which can be recharged by inserting the AC
adapter into the radio charge jack, or with optional desktop charger
(as described below). Initial charge time is 24 hours. Charge time is
about 12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend
charging the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on.
Remove the radios from the charger when the charge time expires.
To charge using a Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12
hours with the radio turned OFF.
1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
!
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries
or battery packs other than the one indicated in the
manual. This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.
