Charging the RBP-214 batteries:

Insert the charging adapter into a household electrical outlet and connect its power jack to the socket at the lower rear corner of the charging stand. Simply placing the radio into the charging stand will begin the charging process. The red LED in front serves as a charge indicator. The LED will flash rapidly when charging weak or dead batteries. As the batteries charge, the LED will flash at a slower rate. Fully charged batteries are indicated by a rate of one flash every 10 seconds or slower. Approximitally 6 hrs are required to fully charge the batteries. Remember to turn your FR-214 off before placing it into the charging stand.

Important: The charging stand in your kit is intended for use with the RBP-214 batteries included in the kit. Do not attempt to recharge any other batteries with the charging stand.

Operation:

POW Button: (red)

Press and hold this button for two seconds to turn the unit on. To turn the unit off, press and hold the button for another two-second period.

MONI Button:

A momentary press of this button will illuminate the display for viewing in low light conditions. The backlighting will remain on for five seconds. If any other buttons are pressed while the backlighting is on, the display will remain lit for another five seconds. This allows the light to remain on while the operator makes any necessary adjustments. To check the current volume setting, press the “MONI” button for two seconds, while the unit is on. If the volume is too high or too low, adjust it by using the up or down buttons as required. There are 15 possible volume levels.

When a weak signal is being received by the transmitter (i.e. A voice becomes barely audible), press the “MONI” button for two seconds. This bypasses the squelch setting to temporarily allow very weak signals to be heard.
