3. BASIC FUNCTIONS
Charging the Battery
Your DX15 is equipped with a rechargeable Li‐Ion battery pack.
To charge your DX15’s battery:
 Connect the AC‐to‐DC Adapter to the
DX15's DC input jack as illustrated.
 Plug the AC‐to‐DC Adapter into an 110V
AC outlet.
When your DX15 is connected to external
power, it will charge the battery whether
your DX15 is turned on or off. During
charging the Battery Charge Icon will flash
to indicate that it is charging. When
charging is complete, the Battery Charge
Icon will remain solid and icon will appear
full.
The Battery Charge Icon visually indicates
the charge remaining in the battery.
A discharged battery will require between 6‐10 hours to fully charge via
the AC‐to‐DC Adapter. While the DX15 can be used to receive and/or
transmit while charging, such usage will increase the time it takes for the
battery to fully charge.
If you are using your DX15 as a backup transceiver that will be stored
without being used for long periods, the battery will hold its charge
longest if it is disconnected from the radio. Store the battery so that its
electrical contacts are not able to be shorted by surrounding metal
objects. Recharge your battery every few months to ensure it is full in an
emergency.
