Important provisions for the operation!
The battery packs included in the scope of delivery have already been inserted correctly into the
radio sets!
Before the commissioning of the radio sets the battery packs have to be charged (charging time
approx. 12 to 14 hours).

Charging of the battery packs
The charging current of this battery charger is adjusted to approx. 50 mA to 100 mA, the
charging time thus depends on whether you want to charge one or two battery packs and on
the state of charge and the capacity of the battery pack. Recharging of partly discharged battery
packs is basically possible; however, it reduces their lifetime.
The tabletop charger does not switch off automatically. Be sure to terminate the charging in time
in order to avoid overcharging of the battery pack, as repeated overcharging also reduces their
lifetime.
Maximum charging times:
With completely discharged battery packs with a capacity of 700 mAh the two battery packs are
fully charged after 12–14 hours. If you want to recharge two half-full battery packs, the charging
time is only 6–7 hours. If you only put one radio set into the charger for charging, the charging
current doubles from approx. 50 mA to approx. 100 mA; thus the charging times are reduced by
half!
Charging of the battery pack in the radio set:
1. Plug the power supply unit into a 230 V socket.
2. Connect the power supply unit to the charger.
3. Switch off the radio sets.
4. Place the radio sets into the charging shaft.
The control lamps on the charger emit red light, the battery packs are now being charged
(charging times please see above).
Safety instructions for the charger
The double tabletop charger must only be used for the charging of the NiMH battery packs that
are included in the scope of delivery!
Do not place radio sets that are equipped with batteries (not rechargeable), into the charger!
