THE FR-314’s CHARGING STAND

The FR-314 transceiver kit includes a high capacity nickel metal hydride battery pack and charging stand. The charging stand is designed for use only with the Audiovox BAT-314 battery pack. Never attempt to charge other batteries with the charging stand.

The FR-314’s four step battery strength indicator will display the current state of charge of the batteries or battery pack in the unit. 3 solid bars indicates a full charge, one or no bars indicates a low charge.

To charge your BAT-314 battery pack, plug the AC adapter into a household electrical outlet, and insert the DC output connector into the receptacle at the base of the charging stand. Before placing the transceiver into the charging stand, be sure it has been turned off. Once the FR-314 is placed in the charging stand, the charge rate indicator on the charging stand will begin to flash, confirming the charging process. The charge rate indicator will flash rapidly, when the battery charge is low. As the BAT-314 battery pack charges, the indicator will flash at a slower rate. A fully charged battery pack is indicated by a flash rate of once every 15 seconds. When charging a deeply discharged battery pack, several beep tones may be heard during the first moments of charging.

Nickel metal hydride batteries do not have a “memory” so the BAT- 314 battery pack can be charged at any time, regardless of its current state of charge
