Uncap the power jack cover on the battery case, attach the
adapter plug to the adapter, insert the adapter plug into the pow-
er jack, then plug the charger into a standard AC outlet.
Warning: Never try to recharge alkaline or other non-
rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries
can cause them to become very hot and possibly explode.
Notes:
• You can recharge the batteries with the battery case at-
tached to the walkie-talkie, but be sure to turn off the
walkie-talkie before you charge them.
• Charging time is 14 to 16 hours the first time. Subsequent
recharging takes about 8 to 10 hours.
• Occasionally, let the nickel-cadmium batteries totally dis-
charge by using the walkie-talkie until
BATT
LOW
appears
on the display. Then fully charge the batteries. This condi-
tions the batteries so they use their full charging capacity.
Caution: To prevent permanent nickel-cadmium power loss,
never charge the batteries in an area where the temperature is
above about 90°F.
