side of the transceiver directly. In this case, the
" " icon will appear in the top right corner
of the LCD display.
4. If the transceiver is inserted correctly, the RED indi-
cator on the SBH-11 will glow.
 A fully-discharged pack will be charged com-
pletely in 4 hours, and then the GREEN indica-
tor on the SBH-11 will glow letting you know
the battery has been fully charged.
 It takes 8 hours for full charge with the SAD-

Important Notes:
 The SAD-11 is not designed to power the trans-
ceiver for operation (transmission).
 Do not leave the charger connected to the trans-
ceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours.
Long term overcharging can degrade the Lithium-
ion battery pack and significantly shorten its useful
life.
 If using a charger other than the SAD-11, SBH-11,
or if using a battery pack other than the SBR-12LI,
follow the appropriate instructions provided with
the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have
any doubts about the appropriateness of the particu-
lar charger or battery pack you intend to use.
