2.2 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it
before use.
Charging the battery pack for the first time after purchase or extended
storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal
maximum operating capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/
discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity will
reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when
its operating time decreases even though it has been fully and correctly
charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
Please use the specied charger provided by . Other models may
cause explosion and personal injury. After installing the battery pack, and
if the radio displays low battery with a red ashing lamp or voice prompt,
please charge the battery.
a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a re. Never
attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack, as cannot be
held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b.The ambient temperature should be between 5℃-40℃ (40˚F - 105˚F)
while charging the battery. Charging outside this range may not fully
charge the battery.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may
otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d.To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the
power or remove the battery during charging until the green light is on.
e. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten
the life of the battery pack or damage the battery pack.
f. Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging
to avoid damage.
2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
2. BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING:
»When keys, key chains or other metals contact the battery terminal,
the battery may become damaged or injure a human. If the battery
terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat. Take care

Digital DMR and Analog UHF/VHF Two Way Radio
2.3 How to Charge
a. 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 battery.
b.Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery
terminals are good in contact with charging terminals. When the indicator
light turns to red--- charging begins.
c. It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the
lamp switches to green, the charging is completed. Remove the battery
or the radio unit with its battery from socket
»When charging a radio (with the battery) the indicating lamp
will not turn green to show the fully charged status if the radio
is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp
indicate normal operation and obtain a proper read on the status
of the battery. The radio consumes energy when it is powered on,
and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage while it
is in use. So, the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage
mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery has been fully
charged.
2. BATTERY INFORMATION
when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the battery or
radio into an insulated container for storage when not in use. Do not
put it into a metal container.

5Digital DMR and Analog UHF/VHF Two Way Radio
STATUS LED
Standby(No Battery) None
Precharge Red light Flashing
Charging Red Light
Fully Charged Green Light
»Trouble means battery is too warm, battery short-circuited or
charger short-circuited.
2.4 Normal Charging Tips
a. Self-Test: When powering on the charger, the red light turns on and then
turns off and stays off, which means the charger has passed the self test
and it is ready to charge the battery. If the light remains orange or the
red light blinks, it means the charger cannot pass it self-test and cannot
charge the battery.
b.Trickle Pre-Charging: If red light blinks when the battery is inserted
into the charger, it means that the battery voltage is low and the charger
is trickle-charging the battery (Pre-Charging Mode). The charger will
automatically turn into normal charging when the battery reaches a
certain electric charge, and if the red light stops blinking, it means the
battery voltage has reached a certain level, and the charger will charge
the battery in normal mode.
e. LED Indicator:
2. BATTERY INFORMATION
»Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Mode) time should not last beyond
30 minutes. If the indicating lamp still blinks red after 30 minutes
of trickle-charging, it means that the charger cannot charge the
battery correctly. Please check whether the battery or charger is
damaged.

»Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
»Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
»Never store the battery in unsafe surroundings, as a short may
cause an explosion.
»Do not put the battery in a hot environment or throw it into a re,
as it may cause an explosion.
2.5 How to Store the Battery
a. If the battery needs to be stored, keep the level at approximately 80% of
full charge.
b.It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
c. Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.
