battery and connectors for even the smallest damage. CAUTION: cells may be hot! Do not allow the electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin. Wash affected areas immediately if they come into contact with electrolyte. Do not alter or modify connectors or wires of a Lithium Polymer battery pack. NEVER incinerate used batteries. This may cause an explosion. NEVER use the charger when it is covered by objects that impede heat dispersal.
CHARGING BATTERY FROM USB PORT Your radio includes a built-in battery charger trough the USB radio connector. This feature allows the user to charge the battery with any USB cable connected to a source that can supply current for example PCs, USB ports, USB chargers, etc. Take notice most of the USB chargers are not for radios and the current supplied by these could be too low to charge the battery quickly.
SMARTRUNK BC-D01 SMART BATTERY CHARGER Never leave the charger unattended. If you will be away from the charger then leave it unconnected from the battery. Charge all batteries on concrete, at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from combustible materials. Do not use if flammable liquids are in the area. Use this charger only with SmarTrunk Lithium Polymer battery packs. No other battery chemistry can be used. Do not charge a battery if it is hot. Allow them to cool first.

to complete the re-charging process. This is an estimation which may not be totally accurate because sometimes the battery temperature ask for slower charging rate, adjusting the estiation on the way. Each led on the multy level indicator when the TIME LEFT LED is on, represents 20 minutes of charging time to complete the battery. On this way, you can get a very clear information about the charging status, just reading the displayed function and the multi level indicator bar.
Depending on the DC input voltage and the temperature, a complete process will demand between 3 and 4 hours. If the radio is on during the charging process, the time will extend, depending on the radio activity. Installing/ Removing the LI-Ion Battery Pack Only use the ST-SBP18 or ST-BP18 battery packs with this transceiver. 123- Match the grooves of the battery pack with the corresponding guides on the back of the transceiver.
Note: If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location may get hot during continuous transmission or when left sitting in a hot environment. Installing the Cap over the Speaker/ Microphone and USB port If you are not using an optional speaker/ microphone, install the cover over the SP/MIC/ext port jacks using the supplied screws.
