Powering the transceiver:

Your GMRS1202CH radio transceiver operates on five AAA Alkaline or rechargeable batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable batteries (supplied). Only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries should be recharged in the radio transceiver using the charging accessories. This will ensure optimum performance for the GMRS1202CH. Battery charging time is typically 6-7 hours for full charge, and 0.5-3 hours for fast charge (depending on existing battery charge). (Refer to battery charging considerations later in this manual.) Batteries may get warm during fast charge. Slow charging will automatically occur after a quick charge of 75%, and may take up to 3-4 hours to achieve an additional 20% charge. Batteries should not get warm during the slow charge cycle. Use of the Audiovox charging equipment with other brands of rechargeable batteries is not recommended as battery charging times will vary. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.
