charger and associated wall adapter. This will ensure optimum
performance for the GMRS7001-2. Battery charging time is typically
13-15 hours. Use of the Audiovox charger with other brands of batteries is
not recommended as battery charging times will vary. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.
