for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach its best performance. The battery pack life
is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the
battery pack.
Charger Applied
Please use the specic charger appointed by our company. Other models may cause explosion
and personal injury. After installing the battery pack, if the radio displays low battery with red ashing
lamp or voice prompt, please charge the battery.

BATTERY INFORMATION
NOTE: when charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the indicating lamp will not
turn into green to show the fully charged status. Only when the transceiver is switched off, can the
lamp indicate normally. The transceiver consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger can
not detect the voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge battery in
constant voltage and fail to indicate correctly whether the battery has been charged fully.
Charging Process5.
Charging Status Indicator Status
Standby (Self-examine lights orange 1second when power on) None
Pre-charging (Pre-charging stage) Red light twinkles for about 5 minutes

BATTERY INFORMATION
Normal Charging Tips
Self- Examination:1. When charging, orange light twinkles for 1 second and goes out, which means
the charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light
remains orange or the red light twinkles, it means the charger can not pass its self-examination or
charge the battery.
Trickle Pre-Charging:2. If red light twinkles when battery is inserted into the charger, it means the
remnant voltage is low and the charger is trickle-charging the battery (Pre-Charging Status). The
charger will automatically turn into normal charging when the battery reaches a certain electric
quantity, And if the red light stops twinkling, it means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric
quantity, the charger will charge the battery normally.
NOTE:
Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Status) time can not beyond 30 minutes. If the indicating lamp still
twinkles after 30-minute trickle-charging, it means that the charger can not charge the battery. Please
check whether the battery or charger is damaged.
How to Store the Battery
If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 50% discharged.1.
It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.2.
Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.3.
