battery packs and plug the wall adapter into the MIC/CHG jack on the
side of the transceiver. The wall adapter is a double plug type, so you

indicating that the radio is being charged. This indication will not turn off
when the batteries are fully charged.

wall adapters. Insert the battery packs, connect the wall adapters plug
to the back of the desktop chargers and insert the transceivers into the
desktop chargers cradles. If the transceivers have been inserted correctly,
the red LED light on the desktop chargers will turn on, indicating that the
radio is charging. Only if the transceiver is left on during the charging,
the icon on the LCD display will blink indicating that the radio is being
charged. Both indications will not turn off when the batteries are fully
charged.
