Powering the transceiver:

Your GMRS1100-2CH radio transceiver operates on four AAA batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable batteries. Only the supplied Audiovox-approved rechargeable batteries can be recharged in the radio transceiver using the suppiled desk-top charger and associated wall adapter. This will ensure optimum performance for the GMRS1100-2CH. Battery charging time is typically 10-12 hours. Use of the Audiovox charger with other brands of rechargeable batteries is not recommended as battery charging times will vary. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.
