To avoid risk of explosion and injury, CNB250A battery pack should
only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous
environments.

5.1 BATTERY CHARGING

To check the charge status, install the battery and press the PTT switch
while observing the BATT indicator. (see page 7)
The battery charge system (CCA250 and CWC230) supplied with the
transceiver recharges a completely discharged CNB250A battery pack in
about 12 hours.
Battery pack should not be charged with the supplied battery charge
system for longer than 16 hours.
The CSA240 is an optional desktop rapid charger that charges the
CNB250A battery pack in 1 hour. The transceiver and its battery can be
placed into this charger, and the charger set to rapid charge. Battery
condition is automatically sensed: when full charge is achieved, the
charger switches to trickle-charge mode to maintain the charge indefinitely
without harm to either the battery or the charger. This charger and extra
battery are highly recommended.

5.2 BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. To remove, turn the battery lock screw counterclockwise 3 or 4
turns, and pull the battery pack until it slides out.
3. To install, slide the battery pack into the battery cavity until fully
inserted, and turn the battery lock screw clockwise 3 or 4 turns to
tighten (3.0 kgf.cm). (see figure 3)

5.3 OPERATING BATTERY CHARGE SYSTEM

1. Plug the end of CWC230 wall charger to the DC IN connector of
the CCA250 charge adaptor.
2. Plug the wall charger into a 120 VAC wall outlet.
3. Turn the transceiver off.
4. Insert the transceiver. The indicator lights, and charging begins.
5. Remove the battery pack from charge adaptor when charging time
has passed.
