Charging your Battery
When the battery level is very low, a blinking red LED indicator lights up during transmit mode, and an alert tone sounds. You will need to recharge the battery before you can continue to use your radio.
Place the radio with the battery attached or the battery alone in the charger. The charger’s LED indicator will indicate the charging progress.
NOTE:
Since new batteries or batteries that have not been used for several months could prematurely indicate full charge (solid green LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use to achieve optimal performance.
