    BATTERY INFORMATION Charging Operation The battery is not charged at the factory, please charge it before your initial use. Charging the battery for the irst time or charging it after extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery to its maximum operating capacity after the irst charge.It may take repeating a full charge/discharge cycle for two or three times before the operating capacity reaches its maximum performance.
  • Page 17: How To Charge

    BATTERY INFORMATION ▲ Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This could shorten the life of the battery or damage the battery. ▲ Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp or wet. Dry it before charging to avoid any danger. WARNING:When keys, ornamental chains, or other metals contact or short the battery terminals, the battery could cause a shock or injury.
  • Page 18 BATTERY INFORMATION NOTE: When charging a powered on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn to green to show the full charge status. Only when you turn off the transceiver, will the LED indicate normally. If the transceiver is powered on, it will continually consume energy. The charger cannot detect when the battery has been fully charged and will fail to indicate correctly.

    MEMORY BANK Memory Bank Basics: There are 10 memory banks 0-9 that are available for the OBLTR-8R/TERMN-8R. Bank 0 includes all edited channels (all channels are in Bank 0). Bank 1-9 can be assigned maximum 32channels, a channel can be assigned to more than 1 group by either software programming or the radio itself.
  • Page 101: Memory Bank Exit

    MEMORY BANK Note: When the bank linking is on, if no channel in the selected bank, radio will enter into the next linking bank. When the bank linking is off, if no channel in the selected bank, current channel will be assigned to this bank. Memory Bank Exit key twice to exit and return to channel mode.
  • Page 102 MEMORY BANK OFF: Turn off Bank linking, hide menu 37-46(OBLTR-8R)/20-29(TERMN-8R). When bank linking is on, one or more banks can be added into scan list. In memory bank mode, enable the scanning function, transceiver will scan the channels in current bank. During scanning, long pressing key 0-9 will add or delete the corresponding memory bank.
