BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Your Battery
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you
will need to charge it before you can use it. When
the battery level is low and the radio is in transmit
mode you will see the LED indicator flash red. Upon
release of the PTT button, you will hear an alert
tone.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
factory. Always charge a new battery 14 to 16
hours before initial use, regardless of the
status indicated by the charger.
