provide approximately 8 hours of operation
for your radio with normal use (5% sending
messages, 5% receiving messages and 90%
in standby mode).

• 3 to 4 seconds after turning power on
• Every 10 minutes in standby mode
• After release of the Push-To-Talk button
Recharge the battery pack immediately to
avoid interrupted use.
