CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your radio is equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack
which can be recharged using a desktop charger. Initial charge time
is 24 hours with a charge time of 12 hours thereafter. For maximum
battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the low
battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when the
charge time expires.
To charge using a Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator will be red, indicating the radio is charging.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12
hours with the radio turned OFF.
1. Only use the Midland NiMH battery pack.
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries
or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual.
This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your radio has a BATTERY LEVEL METER that shows the
battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the
stronger the battery level. When the battery level is low, the Battery
Shell icon and “Lo bt” will flash in the display indicating your
batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a rechargeable
battery pack.
