up to open the CHG cover, then connect
the supplied Charge Cable to the CHG
jack on the HX300.

plied Charge Cable to the PA-54B, then
plug the PA-54B into the AC line outlet.
4. If the connection is correct, the “ ”

A fully-discharged pack will be charged
completely in approximately 6 hours.
5. When charging is completed, the “ ”
icon disappears and “FL” will appear
in the display. Disconnect the Charge Cable from the HX300 and close
the CHG cover securely (make sure a click is heard), then unplug the
PA-54B from the AC line outlet.
CAUTION
 When using the radio, make sure the CHG cover is completely
closed to insure water integrity.
 The PA-54B is NOT designed to be waterproof. Do not attempt to
charge in water hazardous locations.
NOTE
 The HX300 may also be charged by connecting the USB cable to
the radio and a USB connector on a PC. It will take about 6 hours
to charge the battery and FL will be shown on the HX300 display
when charging is completed.
 The PA-54B is only designed for the charging of the HX300’s bat-
tery pack, and is not suitable for other purposes. The PA-54B may
contribute noise to TV and radio reception in the immediate vicin-
ity, so it do not recommend its use adjacent to such device.
 When carefully maintained, a pack should be useful for about 300
charge/discharge cycles.
