Insert the battery, printed arrows first, into the battery compartment and press down to secure firmly in place. 3. Slide and snap the battery door into place.
Charging the Battery Use only the charger supplied with the radio, or other Series power accessories. For optimum battery life, do not charge the battery for prolonged periods after it is fully charged. Charging the battery over the weekend is acceptable. Using the Drop-in Charger 1. Place the charger on a flat surface. 2. Insert the plug of the power cord into the jack on the charger. 3. Plug the cord into an AC outlet. 4. Turn the radio off.
The spare battery will not begin to charge until the radio battery is fully charged. Both batteries will charge in approximately 2–6 hours.
WARNING: There is a danger in which incorrectly placing the battery can cause an explosion. Always make sure the radio is switched off before installing or changing the battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Use ONLY with Lithium 3.7V 830 mAH rechargeable batteries.

3. Plug the cord into an AC outlet. 4. Turn the radio off. 5. Insert the radio or battery into the charging pocket.
Charging Status LEDs On the drop-in charger, the radio and battery charging pockets have their own LEDs. On the MUC, each of the 6 charging pockets has an LED. The LEDs are grouped into pairs to show which charging pockets are paired (for cloning, see page 32). The LED is solid red when the battery is charging, and solid green when charging is complete. IMPORTANT: Charge the battery for 12 hours on the first charge. After that, it should take 4 or less hours to charge.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight or fire. • The 6 Unit Gang Charger and adapter should not be exposed to wet conditions. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be placed on the main unit and adapter. • To maintain the battery life of your two-way transceiver it is recommended that you only charge the battery when needed. Overcharging the battery will reduce performance. • For best results ensure that the unit is turned off before charging.

light flashes. When there is activity on the same frequency and code as your radio (your and a signal strength from 1 radio is receiving), the radio displays (weakest) to 4 (strongest). This can help determine when a radio is moving out of range. Note: Obstacles that block the signal path may affect the strength of the incoming signal. KEYPAD LOCK To avoid accidentally changing the channel and the unit’s preferred settings, you can lock the keypad.
Press and hold F button for 2.0 seconds. appears when the keypad is locked. NOTE: While key lock is “on” you can still use the PTT button .
