Recharging the battery and power save

The battery power saving feature enables a reduction in the consumption of up

to 50%; power saving comes on automatically when the transceiver does not

receive any signal for more than 7 seconds.

To recharge the batteries you need to connect the socket of the wall adaptor

to a main power socket and insert the jack of the wall adaptor into the charging

jack of the G5 C. It takes 10/12 hours to fully recharge.

For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the

G5 C is o and the low battery icon comes on. When the batteries are dischar-

ged, the icon appears “bt lo” on the display.

Warnings:

! Do not overcharge the batteries! When these are fully charged the charging

process does not stop automatically. Do not forget therefore, to remove the

transceiver from the charger as soon as the batteries are charged.

! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make

sure that when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH batteries

should be contained in the battery compartment! It is very dangerous at-

tempting to recharge other types of batteries (for example alkaline or man-

ganese batteries). Batteries which are not suitable to be recharged may leak,

explode or even burn and cause damage!

! Using a dierent battery charger, other than the one speciﬁed can cause

damage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.

Therefore we recommend to used the wall charger model S0006MV1200020

supplied in this packaging.

! Do not throw batteries into ﬁre or place them near heat, as this may cause ex-

plosions or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures

set out by local regulations.

! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of dierent types or batteries

which have been used in dierent manners.
