Charging the COM400CC Batteries
When there are good batteries in the COMMUNICATOR® and the power is on, the red
light above the power (PWR) button will be lit. This light only indicates the power is on.
It does not indicate how much power is left in the batteries. As the batteries weaken
during routine use, you will hear a repeating beep in the earpiece, indicating the
batteries need to be replaced. When this happens, remove the battery from the
Communicator as shown in Figure 6. Place both batteries in the AC900 Battery
Charger for recharging. Refer to Figures 7 through 9. Replace the batteries in the
Communicator with fresh, fully charged batteries. Typical battery life with normal use is
8 to 10 hours.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, turn Communicator OFF before removing or
installing batteries.
Installing and Removing Communicator Batteries:
Figure 6.
Remove and replace Communicator battery
Charging COM400CC Batteries in the AC900 Battery Charger:
Place up to four COM400CC batteries in the charger for charging at a time. See Figure 7.
The red Charging light, adjacent to a battery being charged will go on and remain on
while the battery is charging. Routine battery charging takes up to 3 hours.
NOTE: The COM400CC uses “smart batteries.” That means each battery maintains a history of the
number of times it has been charged. The
AC900 Battery Charger reads and updates
this history each time a battery is charged.
This information is used to automa-tically
initiate conditioning cycles, which improve the
battery’s performance and prolong its life. A
conditioning cycle consists of a complete
discharge before a battery is charged. This
happens each time the battery history
indicates it has been charged 10 times since
the last conditioning cycle. While a battery is
discharging, the red Charging light next to it
will blink on and off at 2-second intervals.
The conditioning cycle takes up to 6 hours.
Figure 7. Inserting a battery into
the AC900 Battery Charger
When a battery is fully charged and ready for
use, its red “Charging” light will go off and the
green “Ready” light next to it will go on.
Figure 8.
Battery charging indicator lights
CAUTION: Do not remove batteries from the charger until the green READY light
is lit, or the charger will reset and the charge cycle will begin again.
To remove a fully charged battery from the
battery charger, push the battery from the end
near the status lights.
Store fully charged batteries in the storage ports
on the right side of charger until you need them,
as shown in Figure 9.

circuitry is faulty if a known-good
BATTERY fails in the same ports.
Charging COM400CC batteries in the AC910 Battery Charger:
Figure 10.
COM400CC battery charging in the AC910 Battery Charger
Place up to four COM400CC batteries in the charger for charging at a time. The red Charging
light, adjacent to a battery being charged will blink for a few seconds when the battery is placed
in the charger, then will go on and remain on while the battery is charging.
NOTE: The COM400CC uses “smart batteries.” That means each battery will retain charging
information that will cause it to automatically discharge completely before being recharged,
every tenth time it is placed in the charger. This will improve the battery’s performance and
life. While a battery is discharging, its red Charging light will blink on and off at 2 second
intervals.
When the battery is fully charged and ready for use, the red light will go off and the green
Ready light adjacent to the battery will go on.
To remove fully charged batteries from the battery charger, push the battery from the end
near the status lights. Store fully charged batteries in the storage ports until you need them.

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communication. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
