Charging The Battery Pack; Battery Level Indicator - Midland GXT860 series Owner's Manual

Model GXT860/895 Series

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Your GXT860/895 Series is equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH
battery pack which can be recharged using a desktop charger. Initial
charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 12 hours thereafter. For
maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when
the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger
when the charge time expires.
To charge using a Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12
hours with the radio turned OFF.
1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
!
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries
or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual.
This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

Your GXT860/895 Series has a BATTERY LEVEL METER
that shows the battery power level. The greater the number of bars
visible, the stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low,
the Battery Shell icon and "Lo bt" will flash in the display
indicating your batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a
rechargeable battery pack.
