Waterproof and floating features of the transceiver are assured only

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the SBH-32 Charger Cradle with the SAD-25 AC Adaptor, as
shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the E-DC-19A DC Cable
with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable may be used
for charging the battery. The SAD-25, E-DC-19A and E-DC-6 will charge a
completely discharged SBR-13LI battery pack in about 3 hours.
The SBR-13LI is a high-performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in
a compact package.
