• Charging period: Approx. 15 hours*
* Charging pauses when the receiver's temperature is out of its
specified temperature range (at that time both battery icons
blink), then resumes when it returns to the specified range. In
that case, the charging time will be longer than 15 hours.
• External DC power operation becomes possible when
using an AC adapter or cigarette lighter cable. The installed
Ni-MH batteries can also be charged simultaneously.
• CAUTION: BE SURE to disconnect the CP-18A/E from the
cigarette lighter socket when charging is finished, because,
a slight current still flows in the CP-18A/E and will drain the
vehicle's battery.

into a cigarette lighter socket.
e Insert the adapter plug into [DC4.5V] of the receiver.
