2.BATTERY INFORMATION
2.1Charging 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 specified 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 flashing lamp or voice prompt, please charge the battery.
2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
a.Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack, as AnyTone cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b.The ambient temperature should be between 5 -40 (40˚F - 105˚F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
c.Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d.To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until the green light is on.
e.Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery pack.
f.Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging 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
a.Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the 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.
b.Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery terminals are good in contact with charging terminals. The indicator light turns to red--- charging begins.
c.It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the 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.

2.5 Normal Charging Tips
a.Self-Test: When powering on the charger, the red light turns on and then turns off and stays off, which means the charger has passed it selftest 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.
b.Trickle Pre-Charging: If red light blinks when the battery is inserted 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.

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
a.If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
b.It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
c.Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.
»»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 fire, as it may cause an explosion.
