Charging the Battery Pack

Charging the Battery Pack using the Battery Charger (SAD-25)
Using the supplied battery charger (SAD-25), it takes about 9 hours* to charge the SBR-
14LI battery pack fully.
*Depending on the battery status, the charging time might be increased
1. Turn the transceiver OFF to install the battery pack.
2. Referring to the figure at the right, connect the
battery charger plugs.
When the battery is being charged, the TX/BUSY
Indicator lights red, and the display indicates "Now
Charging". The charge level is indicated by a bar graph.
3. When charging is completed, the display will
change to indicate "Complete" and the TX/BUSY
Indicator will light green.
In the USA Version, the TX/BUSY LED is not lit when charging or when charging is
complete. When the charge is complete, the transceiver turns off after 3 minutes.
• When charging is completed, the charging is automatically ended.
• Firmly insert the SAD-25 DC plug into the EXT DC IN terminal. If it is difficult to insert,
turn the rubber cap.
• If "CHGERR" appears on the LCD during the charging and the battery pack is not
charged after a lapse of 10 or more hours, stop charging the battery pack immediately.
The battery pack is presumed to be at the end of its service life, or defective. In this case,
replace the battery pack with a new one.
• Charge the battery pack within the temperature range from +41°F to +95°F (+5°C to +35°C).

z Approximate Operating Time and Remaining Charge Level Indication
Approximate operating time for the transceiver with the fully charged battery pack or
new AA alkaline batteries is as follows:
Band
144 MHz Band
Amateur Band
430 MHz Band
The battery charge level calculations are based on an operating cycle of: Transmitting 6
seconds (5 W): Receiving 6 seconds (VOL Level 16): Stand By 48 seconds (RX SAVE 1:5)
The actual times the transceiver will operate as indicated in the above table, varies de-
pending on use, conditions, ambient temperature, etc.
