Safety Recommendations

WARNING – DANGER! Users should take special precautions to avoid

the introduction of hazards when operating, installing, servicing,
transporting, or storing this device and lithium-polymer batteries.

• Do not place unit in areas where it will be exposed to weather.

• Exercise extreme care when working with electricity, and always connect
the device into a ground-fault interrupting circuit when working outdoors or
near water.

• PBT-RPC-66 should only be used at an altitude not exceeding 2000 m.

• Do not allow the power cord to become crimped, twisted, or frayed.

• Refer all PBT-RPC-66 service to qualied Pliant Technologies service
personnel.

• When the PBT-RPC-66 is exposed to electromagnetic (EM) disturbances,
the device may show abnormal behavior.

Charger Operation

Radio Pack charge time from empty is approximately 4 hours. Battery charge
time from empty is approximately 2.5 hours.

When inserting a Radio Pack into the charger, the Radio Pack will log off and
power down, and its LCD will display a “Charge Mode” screen, which contains
the device’s model number, serial number, rmware version, charge percentage,
and estimated time to charge completion.

When removing a Radio Pack from the charger, wait for the bay’s LED to turn off
(approx. 4 seconds) before inserting another Radio Pack into that bay. Failure to
do so will prevent the new Radio Pack from charging.

During static events, LED operation may display an errant charging status. It
will only be temporary and will recover without damage to the charger or its
contents.
