Charging The Batteries - GME GA9800 Instruction Manual

Charging the Batteries

Your TX670 is supplied with an AC adapter which will recharge
a fully discharged set of 1500 mAh batteries to full capacity in
around 15-16 hours.
1. P lug the charger into a standard 240 Volt AC outlet.
2. C onnect the charger to mic/charge socket on the radio.
Battery Low Alert
When the battery icon blinks on the display, the battery level is

batteries are not charged, an audio tone will then sound to
warn the user that the batteries are almost discharged.
Battery Usage
The time taken to discharge the batteries will depend on how
you use the TX670. The 1500 mAh batteries supplied are
powerful enough for a full days use under average conditions.
Conserving Battery Power
The TX670 has built-in power saving features to help you get
the maximum amount of time between charges. If you need to
operate your TX670 in a situation where you require maximum
battery life (e.g. a remote site where there is no convenient
recharging facility nearby) the following hints can greatly
reduce the amount of power drawn from the batteries.
Standby Mode
The TX670 will automatically enter the 'Standby' mode when
it is inactive (i.e. not transmitting or receiving signals). While in
Standby mode it will still check for incoming signals but it will
draw considerably less power from the batteries. As soon as
a signal is heard or the keys are pressed the TX670 will 'wake
up' again. This Standby mode is automatic and by itself can
extend the battery life by many hours.
Using CTCSS
If you are expecting to receive signals on a busy channel, you
can program that channel for CTCSS operation and get the
