CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your LXT118 Series is equipped for using rechargeable NiMH batteries
which can be recharged by inserting the AC adapter into the radio charge
jack. Initial charge time is 24 hours. Charge time is about 12 hours thereaf-
ter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the batteries when
the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when
the charge time expires.
1. Only use our NiMH batteries.
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries or bat-
tery 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.
