4)Replace the battery compartment door.

5)The battery pack must be charged before using for the first time. Place the GMRS622-2 radio into the charging cradle allowing 16 hours

charging time to fully charge the battery pack.

Note: Always make sure your battery pack is fully discharged before recharging to prolong the life of the battery pack. The LED will illuminate while the radio is in the charging cradle.
