CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK

Your GXT800/808/850 Series is equipped for using an optional rechargeable NiMH battery pack (included) which can be recharged using a desktop charger (included). Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when the charge time expires.

To charge using a Desktop Charger:

1.Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.

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 desktop charger jack.

4.Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED

indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.

In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12 hours with the radio turned OFF.

!1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.

2.Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual. This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.

3.For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and remove the batteries from the radio.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

Your GXT800/808/850 Series has a BATTERY LEVEL METER

that shows the battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the stronger the battery level. When the battery level

is low, the Battery Shell icon and “Lo bt” will flash in the display indicating your batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a rechargeable battery pack.
