Uncap the power jack cover on the battery case, attach the adapter plug to the adapter, insert the adapter plug into the pow- er jack, then plug the charger into a standard AC outlet.

Warning: Never try to recharge alkaline or other non- rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable batteries can cause them to become very hot and possibly explode.

Notes:

•You can recharge the batteries with the battery case at- tached to the walkie-talkie, but be sure to turn off the walkie-talkie before you charge them.

•Charging time is 14 to 16 hours the first time. Subsequent recharging takes about 8 to 10 hours.

•Occasionally, let the nickel-cadmium batteries totally dis- charge by using the walkie-talkie until BATT LOW appears on the display. Then fully charge the batteries. This condi- tions the batteries so they use their full charging capacity.

Caution: To prevent permanent nickel-cadmium power loss, never charge the batteries in an area where the temperature is above about 90°F.
