03BATTERY INFORMATIONCharging OperationThe battery is not charged at the factory, please charge it before use. Charge the battery for the rst time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery to its normal operating capacity. After repeating fully charge/discharge cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach the best performance. The battery life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery.Battery Charger TypePlease use our company's designated charger, other models may cause explosion and injure people. After installing the battery, if the radio red light twinkles and remind changing battery, please charge the battery.Notice for Charging BatteryDo not shortcircuit our company designated charger. Never attempt to remove the casing from the ▲battery, we show no responsibility on the faulty caused by modifying freely without permission of our factory.The ambient temperature should be between 5 ▲℃ and 40℃ in charging. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.Always switch off the transceiver equipped with a battery before charging. Otherwise, it will interfere ▲with correct charging.To avoid interfering the charging procedure, please do not cut off the power or take out the battery ▲during charging.
04How to Charge1.Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, then plug the cable of AC adaptor into the DC jack, the indicator lights orange for 1s and turns into GREEN---waits to charge.2.Slide the battery or transceiver with battery into the charger; make sure the battery terminals are in contact with the charging terminals well. LED turns into twinkling RED---pre-charging begins.3.Pre-charging for about 5 minutes, LED twinkles stop then charging begins.4.It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, when LED turns into GREEN — full charged.BATTERY INFORMATIONWARNING:When keys or ornamental chains and other electric metals contact with the battery terminals, the battery may cause damage or hurt bodies. If the battery terminal short circuit, it will generate a lot of heat, please be careful when you bring or use the battery, please put battery or radio into insulated container. Do not put it into metal container.Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery or ▲damage the battery.Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. ▲
05NOTE: When charging a power-on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn into green to show the full charge status. Only when turn off the transceiver, the LED can indicate normally.Because when the transceiver is power on, it would consumes energy, the charger cannot detect when battery has been fully charged, the charger will charge battery in voltage consumption and fail to indicate correctly.BATTERY INFORMATION Status LEDSTATUS self-examinewhen power on (No battery) Pre-charging ChargenormallyFullCharged TroubleLED Orange(for 1 second) Green Red light twinklesfor 5 minutes Red Green Red twinklesfor a long time5.Charging Process:6.LED Indicator:Standby (self-examine orange lights1second when power on)Pre-charging (pre-charging stage)Charging (charge in constant currency)Full charged (charge in constant voltage)Green lightRed light twinkles for about 5 minutesRED light lightens for about 4 hoursGreen lightNOTE: Trouble means battery heating, battery short-circuit or charger short-circuit.
06How to Store the Battery1.If the battery needs to be stored for a long period, the battery should be removed from the radio. It's state of charge should be 50-100% charged.2.It should be kept in low temperature, dry environment.3.To keep away from hot places and direct sunlight.Charging Prompt1.Self-examination: When charging, ORANGE light twinkles for 1 second and goes out. That means the charger has passed its self-examination and it can charge the battery normally. If the light remains orange or the red light twinkles, which means the charger can not pass its self-examination or charge the battery.2.Trickle pre-charging: When the battery has been inserted into the charger and red light twinkles, which means the remnant voltage is low, the charger trickle charge the battery (pre-charging status), until the battery reaches a certain electric quantity, the charger automatically turns into normal charging. And if the red light stop twinkling, which means the remnant voltage meets a certain electric quantity, the charger will charge the battery normally.BATTERY INFORMATION NOTE:The time for Trickle pre-charging is not exceed 30m. After 30m, the red indicator is still twinkling, it means it is unable to charge battery. Please kindly check battery and charger.WARNING▲Do not short circuit battery terminals.▲Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.▲Never assemble the battery in dangerous surroundings, spark may cause explosion.▲Do not put the battery in hot environment or throw it into fire, it may also cause explosion.

The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 8 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. Device types 518UVII (FCC ID: T4K3208UV) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use when properly worn on the body is 2.366 W/kg and for head is 3.990 W/kg. . This device was tested for typical body‐worn operations with the back of the handset kept 25mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 25mm separation distance between the user's body and the back of the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. The device was SAR tested a distance of 25mm for the held to face position. This device must be restricted to work related operations in an Occupational/Controlled RF exposure Environment, not exceeding a maximum transmitting duty factor of 50%. All qualified end‐users of this device must have the knowledge to control their exposure conditions and/or duration to comply with the Occupational/Controlled MPE limit and requirements.
