56 Charging and caring for batteries
You can remove a battery/radio from the charger at
any time without harming the battery, the radio, or the
charger. When you return the battery/radio to the
charger, charging is automatically resumed.
Receiving calls while charging
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger.
You can receive a call while the radio is in the charger,
but your radio performance may be degraded. If you
do remove the radio from the charger to answer a call,
the call will not be disrupted.
Removing the radio from the charger to make or
receive a call ends the charging process. Charging
safely recommences when the radio is reinserted into
the charger.
Low battery warning
Notice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge
every time you use it, or you will shorten the service
life of the battery.
When the battery is low, your radio warns you in the
following ways:
■ The battery symbol on the radio display looks
empty.
■ The status LED on the radio slowly flashes red.
■ A high-pitched beep sounds.
You should recharge or replace the battery as soon
as possible.
