BATTERY INFORMATION

Initial Use

New batteries are shipped from the factory uncharged. Charge a new battery approximately 12 hours prior to initial use (applies to Ni-CD, Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries charged with slow or rapid rate charger). NOTE: The Indicator Light will turn GREEN approximately one hour after battery is placed in a Rapid Rate Charger; however, it is strongly recommended the battery charge for 12 hours. This initializes it and allows for the best performance. Maximum battery capacity is normally achieved after two or three full charge / discharge cycles. If battery power runs low, recharge the battery. Batteries that are brand new or that have been stored for an extended period of time (several weeks), may require more time to fully charge.

Applicable Battery Packs

To reduce the risk of injury, use only batteries specied by RCA Communications Systems.

Caution:

1. To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of batteries in a re.

2. Dispose of batteries according to local recycling regulations. Do not dispose as household waste.

3. Never attempt to disassemble the battery.

Battery Tips:

1. When charging a battery, keep it at a temperature between 41°F ~ 104°F (5°C ~ 40°C) to ensure a full charge. Temperatures outside this range signicantly reduce battery life.

2. Before charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge. Never leave a radio on while it is

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

11

in the charger, as it can damage both the battery and the radio; the charger is not a radio stand.

3. Do not cut off the power supply or remove battery while charging.

4. Never charge a battery that is wet. Dry it with soft cloth prior charging.

5. The battery will eventually weaken. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery.

Tips To Prolong Battery Life:

1. Battery performance greatly decreases at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C).Having a spare battery is always necessary in extremely cold environments. A cold battery may work again when it returns to room temperature,so keep it for later use.

2. Dust on the battery contact may cause the battery not to work or charge properly. Use

a clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching the battery to the radio.

3. Batteries with damaged contacts can be extremely dangerous. Any battery with damage to one or more contacts should be replaced immediately and not used under any circumstances.

Battery Storage

1. Fully charge a battery before storing it for an extended period of time to avoid battery damage due to over-discharge.

2. Recharge a battery after three months storage to avoid reduced battery capacity due to over-discharge.

3. When storing a battery, keep it in a dry place at room temperature.

Charging the Battery

1. When the battery level is very low, recharge it. It is never recommended to completely drain the battery, which may cause your

12

battery to malfunction and no longer accept a charge.

2. Use only chargers specied by RCA Communications Systems. When the charger’s LED illuminates red, it is an indication that the battery is being correctly charged. When the LED illuminates green, the battery charge is complete.

Steps for setting up your charger:

1. Plug the adapter’s AC connector into the AC outlet socket.

2. Plug the adapter’s DC connector into the DC socket on the back of the charger.

3. Place the radio with the battery attached, or the battery alone, in the charger.

4. Make sure the battery contact is touching the charging terminals. The charging process begins when the red LED light illuminates.

5. The green LED light will illuminate approximately one hour later, indicating the battery is fully charged.

14

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

Troubleshooting:

When troubleshooting, always observe the color of the LED:

No LED Indication

1. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into an appropriate AC outlet.

Red LED ashes rapidly (0.2s on/0.2s off) Remove the battery from the charger, and:

1. Make sure that you are using an original RCA Communications Systems battery. Remove power from the battery charger. Clean the charger and the battery’s charging contacts using a clean, dry cloth.

2. Make sure the battery temperature isn’t above 113°F. (45°C)

3. Power up the charger and place the battery back into the charging cup. If the LED indicator continues to ash red, most likely, the battery can no longer be charged and must be replaced. To determine if the

battery requires replacement, place the battery pack into another charger that you know is working properly. If the LED continually ashes red, battery replacement is necessary.

Notes:

• When the battery charger detects the proper battery conditions, rapid charging

begins automatically (steady red LED).

• If the battery temperature is above 113°F (45°C), the charger will report the fault by flashing the red LED rapidly (0.2s on/0.2s off), and will not charge until the battery temperature is below 113°F (45°C) with the red LED changing to solid illumination.

ANTENNA INFORMATION

• Stubby (3”) antennas are ideal for communication within limited range, and standard (6”) antennas optimize coverage; the longer the antenna, the better the coverage is. If you use a stubby antenna for convenience instead of a standard length antenna, you can expect approximately a 30% reduction in coverage. When using a two-way radio outdoors, heavy rain, snow, buildings or thick forest can dramatically reduce radio coverage.

Radio Functions

Note: To simplify operation and ensure

maximum performance, the following functions are disabled by default. They can be acivated by your authorized RCA Communications Systems dealer for an additional charge.

Time-out Timer (TOT)

This limits the amount of time the radio user can continuously transmit on a channel. If the user holds down the PTT longer than the preprogrammed limit, the radio automatically stops transmitting and generates a warning tone until the PTT is released. A dealer may program the alert tone that sounds before the TOT timer nearly expires. See Glossary for the denition of Time-out Timer.

Battery Save Mode

This feature can be enabled by your dealer. The

22

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

Battery Save feature is automatically activated when no activities or operations have been performed (no key press and no knob selection) for an extended period of time. Pressing any key or receiving a signal will end the Battery Save mode and restore the radio to normal operation. See Glossary for the denition of Battery Save Mode.

Low Battery Alert

For extra convenience, when the battery level is low, the LED ashes red and a low-pitched tone sounds every ten seconds to alert users to recharge the battery.

Busy Channel Lockout (BCL)

Avoid interference with other users on the same channel by preventing transmission if another talkgroup is currently speaking over the air. The radio will generate a continuous tone when the PTT is pressed and will not allow a second transmission to “step-on”the current conversation. Releasing the PTT will cancel the tone.

Voice Operated Transmit (VOX)

You can transmit hands-free with the use of optional accessories. The quality of the transmission and performance of the radio

may be degraded. The radio will automatically begin transmitting when you speak and stop transmitting when you stop. For optimum performance, this feature is not recommended in high noise environments. See Glossary for denition of VOX.

Press the programmed VOX key to activate or turn off the VOX feature and an alert tone sounds accordingly.

Your dealer can enable/disable the VOX feature and set the VOX sensitivity. When the VOX feature is enabled, the user can transmit hands-free with VOX accessories. Note: Usage of non RCA Communicatios Systems VOX accessories is not recommended!

1. Press the programmed VOX key to activate the VOX feature.

2. Select VOX on the PTT/VOX earpiece switch.

3. Plug the earpiece into the accessory jack.

24

4. Speak into the earpiece microphone, and

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

your voice will be transmitted.

When transmitting with VOX accessories, you may faintly hear your own voice from the VOX earpiece. Press the PTT of your radio to disable the VOX feature. Turn the radio off and on again or plug the earpiece into the accessory jack again to restore the VOX feature.

Note: Regardless of whether or not the VOX feature is enabled, if you select PTT on the PTT/VOX earpiece switch, you can transmit

by pressing the external PTT. Do not push the switch from PTT to VOX or the radio will continuously transmit. When continuous transmission occurs, push the PTT/VOX switch

from VOX to PTT, or activate the radio again to restore the radio to operation use. Users should always transmit no more than

50% of the using time in VOX and PTT mode. The maximum duty factor supported by hard

-ware is 100%.
