Li-ion Baery Pack
2. BATTERY INFORMATION
2.1. Charging the Baery Pack
The Li-ion baery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use.
Charging the baery pack for the rst me aer purchase or extended storage (more than
2 months) may not bring the baery pack to its normal maximum operang capacity. Best
operaon will require fully charging/ discharging the baery two or three mes before
the operang capacity will reach its best performance. The baery pack life may be
depleted when its operang me decreases even though it has been fully and correctly
charged. If this is the case, replace the baery pack.
2.2. Charger Supplied
Please use the specied charger provided by AnyTone. Other models may cause explosion
and personal injury. Aer installing the baery pack, and if the radio displays low baery
with a red ashing lamp or voice prompt, please charge the baery.
2.3. Use Cauon with the Li-ion Baery
• Do not short the baery terminals or throw the baery into a re. Never aempt
to remove the casing from the baery pack, as AnyTone cannot be held responsi-
ble for any accident caused by modifying the baery.
• The ambient temperature should be between 5°C-40°C (40˚F - 105˚F) while
charging the baery. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the baery.
• Please turn o the radio before inserng it into the charger. It may otherwise
interfere with correct charging.
• To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut o the power or
remove the baery during charging unl the green light is on.
• Do not recharge the baery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of
the baery pack or damage the baery pack.
• Do not charge the baery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid
damage.

8AT-D868UV Digital DMR & analog transceiver
2. BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING
When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the baery terminal,
the baery may become damage or injure a human. If the baery terminals are
short circuited it will generate a lot of heat.
Take care when carrying and using the baery. Remember to put the baery or radio
into an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal container.
2.4. How to Charge
• Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the AC adaptor
into the DC jack located on the back of the charger. The indicator light blinks
orange and is then ready to charge a baery.
• Plug the baery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the baery terminals
are good in contact with charging terminals. The indicator light starts to blink red
--- Pre-charging begins.
• Aer pre-charging for about 5 minutes, the red indicator will stop blinking ---
charging begins.
• It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the baery. When the lamp lights
green, the charging is completed. Remove the baery or the radio unit with its
baery from socket.
When charging a radio (with baery) the indicang lamp will not turn into green to
show the fully charged status if the radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched
o will the lamp indicate normal operaon. The radio consumes energy when it is
power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct baery voltage when the baery
has been fully charged. So the charger will charge the baery in constant voltage mode
and fail to indicate correctly when the baery has been fully charged.

(*) Possible problems:
• The baery is too hot.
• The baery is short-circuited.
• The charger is short-circuited.
2.5. Normal Charging Tips
• Self-Test: When powering on the charger, the orange light blinks and stays o,
which means the charger has passed it self-test and it is ready to charge the bat-
tery. If the light remains orange or the red light blinks, it means the charger cannot
pass it self-test and cannot charge the baery.
• Trickle Pre-Charging: If red light blinks when the baery is inserted into the
charger, it means that the baery voltage is low and the charger is trickle-charging
the baery (Pre-Charging Mode). The charger will automacally turn into normal
charging when the baery reaches a certain electric charge, and if the red light
stops blinking, it means the baery voltage has reached a certain level, and the
charger will charge the baery in normal mode.

10 AT-D868UV Digital DMR & analog transceiver
2. BATTERY INFORMATION
Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Mode) me cannot last beyond 30 minutes. If the
indicang lamp sll blinks red aer 30-minute trickle-charging, it means that the charger
cannot charge the baery correctly. Please check whether the baery or charger is
damaged.
2.6. How to Store the Baery
• If the baery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
• It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
• Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight
And...
• Do not short circuit the baery terminals.
• Never aempt to remove the casing from the baery pack.
• Never store the baery in unsafe surroundings, as a short may cause an explosion.
• Do not put the baery in a hot environment or throw it into a re, as it may cause
an explosion

on the back of the radio and then push it.
• To remove the baery pack, slide the release latch at the top away from the
baery and remove the pack away from the transceiver.
3.2. Installing / Removing the Antenna
• Installing the Antenna: Screw the antenna into the connector on the top of the
transceiver by holding the antenna at its base and turning it clockwise unl secure.
• Removing the Antenna: Turn the antenna counter-clockwise to remove it.
