2. BATTERY INFORMATION
2.1
Charging the Battery Pack
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it
before use.
Charging the battery pack for the first time after purchase or extended
storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal
maximum operating capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/
discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity will
reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when
its operating time decreases even though it has been fully and correctly
charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
2.2
Charger Supplied
Please use the specied charger provided by AnyTone. Other models may
cause explosion and personal injury. After installing the battery pack, and
if the radio displays low battery with a red ashing lamp or voice prompt,
please charge the battery.
2.3
Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a re. Never
a.
attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack, as AnyTone cannot
be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
The ambient temperature should be between 5℃-40℃ (40˚F - 105˚F)
b.
while charging the battery. Charging outside this range may not fully
charge the battery.
Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may
c.
otherwise interfere with correct charging.
To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the
d.
power or remove the battery during charging until the green light is on.
Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten
e.
the life of the battery pack or damage the battery pack.
Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging
f.
to avoid damage.

2. BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING:
»When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the
battery terminal, the battery may become damage or injure a human.
If the battery terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat.
Take care when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the
battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal
container.
2.4
How to Charge
Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the
a.
AC adaptor into the DC jack located on the back of the charger. The
indicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.
Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery
b.
terminals are good in contact with charging terminals. The indicator light
turns to red--- charging begins.
It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the
c.
lamp lights green, the charging is completed. Remove the battery or the
radio unit with its battery from socket
»when charging a radio (with battery) the indicating lamp will
not turn into green to show the fully charged status if the radio
is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp
indicate normal operation. The radio consumes energy when it
is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery
voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger
will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to
indicate correctly when the battery has been fully charged.

Fully Charged Green
Trouble Red blinks fast for a long time
»Trouble means battery too warm, battery short-circuited or
charger short-circuited.
2.5
Normal Charging Tips
Self-Test: When powering on the charger, the red light turns on and then
a.
turns off and stays off, which means the charger has passed it self- test
and it is ready to charge the battery. If the light remains orange or the
red light blinks, it means the charger cannot pass it self-test and cannot
charge the battery.
Trickle Pre-Charging: If red light blinks when the battery is inserted
b.
into the charger, it means that the battery voltage is low and the charger
is trickle-charging the battery (Pre-Charging Mode). The charger will
automatically turn into normal charging when the battery reaches a
certain electric charge, and if the red light stops blinking, it means the
battery voltage has reached a certain level, and the charger will charge
the battery in normal mode.
None
Lights red for about 3 hours
Lights green

2. BATTERY INFORMATION
»Trickle charging (Pre-Charging Mode) time cannot last beyond
30 minutes. If the indicating lamp still blinks red after 30-minute
trickle-charging, it means that the charger cannot charge the
battery correctly. Please check whether the battery or charger is
damaged.
2.6
How to Store the Battery
If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
a.
It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
b.
Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.
c.
»Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
»Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
»Never store the battery in unsafe surroundings, as a short may
cause an explosion.
»Do not put the battery in a hot environment or throw it into a re,
as it may cause an explosion.
