CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Your radio is equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack
which can be recharged using an AC wall adapter (included) or a DC
adapter (included). Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of
12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging
the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radio
from the charger when the charge time expires. For the location of the
CHARGING JACK see page 20.
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.
You can also charge the rechargeable NiMH battery pack using the
Dynamo Crank. To charge using the Dynamo Crank rotate rapidly the
Dynamo Crank handle clockwise or counter-clockwise.
To get the best charging condition, charge the battery pack thru
the Dynamo Crank with the radio turned OFF. Speed and length of
time of cranking will determine the charge of the NiMH Battery
Pack. Two minutes of cranking gives up to 5 minutes of radio use
time (receiving and monitoring only).
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.
