The 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 operating capacity. After fully
charging/discharging cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach its best
performance. The battery pack life is over when it’s operating time decreases even though it is fully
and correctly charged. Replace the battery pack.
Please use the specific 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 flashing
lamp or voice prompt, please charge the battery.
▼Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into fire. Never attempt to remove the casing
from the battery pack, we show no responsibility on any results caused by modifying freely without
permission of our factory.
▼The ambient temperature should be between 5℃and 40℃while charging is in progress. Charging
outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
▼Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a battery pack before charging. Otherwise, it will
interfere with correct charging.
▼To avoid interfering the charging, please do not cut off the power or take out the battery during
charging.

BATTERYINFORMATION
▼Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the
battery pack or damage the battery pack.
▼Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger.
1. 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
lights orange (1s) and then goes out----waits to
charge.
2. Plug the battery or transceiver into the charger.
Make sure that the battery terminals are in contact
with charging terminals well. The Indicator turns
into twinkling red-----Pre-charging begins.
3. After pre-charging for about 5 minutes, the indicator
will stop twinkling----charging begins.

4. It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the battery. When the lamp lights green, the charging
is finished. Remove the battery or the transceiver equipped with battery from socket.
How to Charge

NOTE: Trouble means battery heating, battery short-circuit or charger short-circuit.
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.

BATTERYINFORMATION
1. Self- Examination: 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 cannot pass its self-examination or
charge the battery.
2. Trickle Pre-Charging: 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.
1. If the battery needs to be stored for a long period, the battery should be removed from the radio.
It's state of charge should be 50-100% of full charge.
2. It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
3. Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.
How to Store the Battery
NOTE:
Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Status) time cannot beyond 30 minutes. If the indicating lamp still
twinkles after 30-minute trickle-charging, it means that the charger cannot charge the battery. Please
check whether the battery or charger is damaged.
