CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK

Your NAUTICO3 is equipped for using an optional rechargeable NiMH battery pack which can be recharged using an AC or DC charger (included). Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 8-12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the NAUTICO3 when the low battery indicator comes on. Remove the radio from the charger when the charge time expires.

1.Place the rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack into the radio.

2.Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet .

3.Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if charging in vehicle) into the charging jack on the side of the radio.

!1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
