r To install the Battery Pack, insert the Battery Pack into the
battery compartment on the bottom of the radio, then secure
the Battery Pack using the Latch Clip on the Battery Pack.
r To remove the Battery Pack, turn the radio off and remove
any protective cases, then unlatch the clip from the Battery
Pack. Place your thumbs on the edge of the Battery pack,
then slide out the Battery Pack from the radio while apply-
ing light pressure onto it.
Do not attempt to open the Rechargeable Battery Pack, as
personal injury or damage to the pack could occur if a cell
or cells become accidentally short-circuited.

Battery Charging
It is necessary to charge the Battery Pack fully before its first
use.
1. Install the Battery Pack into the transceiver. Ensure that the
transceiver is switched off.
2. Connect the cable plug from the PA-26 AC Adapter into the
INPUT jack on the CD-17 Charger, then insert the cable plug
from the CD-17 Charger into the CHG terminal on the bot-
tom of the transceiver.
3. Connect the AC cable into the AC jack on the PA-26 AC
Adapter, then plug the PA-26 AC Adapter into the AC line
outlet.
4. The LED indicator on the CD-17 Charger will glow red
(Charging) while the battery is being charged. When charg-
ing is completed, the red LED indicator will change to green
(Fully Charged). A fully-discharged pack will be charged com-
pletely in about five hours.
5. Unplug the cable from the CHG terminal, then disconnect
the PA-26 AC Adapter from the AC line outlet.
r Do not connect an improper Charger into the CHG
terminal.
r Do not forget to replace the protective cover.
r In rare instances, the CD-17 LED indicator may glow Green
(apparently indicating "Fully Charged") immediately when
you charge a fully-discharged pack. If this should happen,
unplug the cable from the CHG terminal, wait a few sec-
onds, then re-insert the cable plug into the CHG terminal.
Normal charging should then begin.
