Important notes on charging the battery

Charge the battery fully before using the radio. When the battery is completely charged, the CHARGE LED turns green.

Don’t use the charger when the ambient temperature is below 0° C (32° F) or above 45° C (113° F).

If the radio is powered down, the battery can charge in about seven hours. (If the radio is powered on, the battery takes longer to charge.)
