Charging a 'flat' battery
If the battery is completely 'flat' (without charge) during storage or after a long period of non-activity, it
may fail to recharge or stop charging after 20 minutes. If this happens, disconnect and then
reconnect the charger (or power off the charger, then power on) to reset the battery.
NOTE: Do not charge a flat battery attached to the radio. During charging, the radio
will attempt to power on when the battery charge reaches a certain capacity, which
will continually drain the battery of its charge. Always charge a flat battery with the
radio powered off or using a battery charger.
Fitting the battery
Ensure that the Smart/microSD card compartment cover is securely latched before fitting the
battery.
Warning! Caution! If a Belt clip or Shirt/Pocket clip is fitted to the radio, lift the Belt
clip or Shirt/Pocket clip before attempting to fit the battery. Do not attempt to insert
the battery into the battery compartment sideways under the clip. This may result in
damage to the radio and the belt clip.
To fit the battery, insert the battery into the battery compartment as shown. Press the battery
downwards until it clicks into position.
Removing the battery
Power off before removing the battery.
Caution! Risk of damage to the radio. If a Belt clip or Shirt/Pocket clip is fitted to the
radio, lift the Belt clip or Shirt/Pocket clip before attempting to remove the battery. Do not
attempt to remove the battery from the battery compartment sideways under the clip. This
may result in damage to the radio and the belt clip.
Push the safety latch on the bottom of the battery. Lift the battery upwards and remove.
