CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK
Your GXT800/850 Series is equipped for using an optional
rechargeable NiMH battery pack (not included) which can be
recharged using a desktop charger (not 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 radios from the charger when the
charge time expires.
To charge using a Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
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.
1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
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 GXT800/850 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 and “Lo bt” will flash in the display
indicating your batteries should be replaced or recharged if using a
rechargeable battery pack.
