CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your XT511 Series is equipped for using an rechargeable NiMH battery pack which can be recharged using an AC wall adapter (included) or a DC adapter (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 radio from the charger when the charge time expires. For the location of the CHARGING JACK see page 17.
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.

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 XT511 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 will flash in the display indicating your batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a rechargeable battery pack.
SELECTING THE POWER SOURCE
Your XT511 Series can use either an Alkaline battery or the rechargeable NiMH battery pack. Just set the BATTERY SOURCE switch to either “Alkaline” or “Rechargeable” (for NiMH battery pack) mode.
