Charging Procedure
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger jack at the
rear of the unit.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. The 6 LED indicators on the unit will be orange
for a few seconds during the unit diagnosis and
will turn off when the unit is ready for operation.
(Note: The LED's will remain orange if the charger
is not functioning properly.)
4. Slide a battery pack or a transceiver with a battery
pack into an individual charger pod.
5. The charger pod's LED indicator will initially be
orange during battery diagnosis which could last
up to a minute.
6. The LED indicator will be red during charging
cycle.
7. The LED indicator will blink green when the
battery is at least 80% charged.
8. The LED indicator will be solid green when the
battery is fully charged.
9. The battery may be removed when the LED
indicator is flashing green or solid green.
PLEASE NOTE: Be sure ALL radios are turned off
prior to placing them into the battery charger as
internal parts can overheat during charging.
LED Indicator:
When the LED flashes red, a fault condition exists.
There are three different flash patterns, each
indicating a specific type of issue. The flash patterns
and fault conditions are as follows:
One Flash - Indicates charging complete, but
battery is under charged. Battery voltage is
below minimum level required. This warning
happens after charging is complete.
Two Flashes - Indicates battery contact is "open"
and current is not passing through the (+)
and (-) contacts on the battery. This warning
is provided after the initial diagnostic stage
is complete. Check charging pod to confirm
compatibility with battery or contact your RCA
dealer.
Three Flashes - Indicates over-current condition
caused by battery short circuit. Have the battery
checked by an RCA technician. Do not attempt
to charge the battery if a short circuit exists.
IMPORTANT
1. After a charged battery is removed, the LED
indicator may remain on for a few seconds. Please
wait for the LED to turn off, before putting
another battery/radio into the charging slot.
2. Using the charger outside the specified
temperature range (59° - 86°F/15° - 30°C) may
lead to erratic operation, and batteries can be
under-charged.
