BATTERY INFORMATION

Initial Use

New batteries are shipped from the

factory uncharged. Charge a new battery

approximately 12 hours prior to initial use

(applies to Ni-CD, Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries

charged with slow or rapid rate charger).

NOTE: The Indicator Light will turn GREEN

approximately one hour after battery is

placed in a Rapid Rate Charger; however, it is

strongly recommended the battery charge for

12 hours. This initializes it and allows for the

best performance. Maximum battery capacity

is normally achieved after two or three full

charge / discharge cycles. If battery power

runs low, recharge the battery. Batteries that

are brand new or that have been stored for an

extended period of time (several weeks), may

require more time to fully charge.

Applicable Battery Packs

To reduce the risk of injury, use only batteries

specied by RCA Communications Systems.

Caution:

1. To avoid risk of personal injury, do not

dispose of batteries in a re.

2. Dispose of batteries according to local

recycling regulations. Do not dispose as

household waste.

3. Never attempt to disassemble the battery.

Battery Tips:

1. When charging a battery, keep it at a

temperature between 41°F ~ 104°F (5°C ~

40°C) to ensure a full charge. Temperatures

outside this range signicantly reduce

battery life.

2. Before charging a battery attached to a

radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full

charge. Never leave a radio on while it is

11

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

in the charger, as it can damage both the

battery and the radio; the charger is not a

radio stand.

3. Do not cut off the power supply or remove

battery while charging.

4. Never charge a battery that is wet. Dry it

with soft cloth prior charging.

5. The battery will eventually weaken. When

the operating time (talk-time and standby

time) is noticeably shorter than normal,

replace the battery.

Tips To Prolong Battery Life:

1. Battery performance greatly decreases at

temperatures below -4°F (-20°C).Having

a spare battery is always necessary in

extremely cold environments. A cold

battery may work again when it returns to

room temperature,so keep it for later use.

2. Dust on the battery contact may cause the

battery not to work or charge properly. Use

a clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching

the battery to the radio.

3. Batteries with damaged contacts can be

extremely dangerous. Any battery with

damage to one or more contacts should be

replaced immediately and not used under

any circumstances.

Battery Storage

1. Fully charge a battery before storing it for

an extended period of time to avoid battery

damage due to over-discharge.

2. Recharge a battery after three months

storage to avoid reduced battery capacity

due to over-discharge.

3. When storing a battery, keep it in a dry

place at room temperature.

Charging the Battery

1. When the battery level is very low, recharge

it. It is never recommended to completely

drain the battery, which may cause your

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

12

battery to malfunction and no longer

accept a charge.

2. Use only chargers specied by RCA

Communications Systems. When the

charger’s LED illuminates red, it is an

indication that the battery is being correctly

charged. When the LED illuminates green,

the battery charge is complete.

Status Charged LED

Standby (no-load) Red LED slowly ashes

(0.2s on/3s off )

Battery is charging Red LED solidly glows

Battery is fully charged Green LED solidly glows

Error Red LED rapidly ashes

(0.2s on/0.2s off)

13

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

4. Make sure the battery contact is touching

the charging terminals. The charging

process begins when the red LED light

illuminates.

5. The green LED light will illuminate

approximately one hour later, indicating

the battery is fully charged.

Steps for setting up your charger:

1. Plug the adapter’s AC connector into the

AC outlet socket.

2. Plug the adapter’s DC connector into the

DC socket on the back of the charger.

3. Place the radio with the battery attached,

or the battery alone, in the charger.

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

14

Troubleshooting:

When troubleshooting, always observe the

color of the LED:

No LED Indication

1. Make sure that the power cord is plugged

into an appropriate AC outlet.

Red LED ashes rapidly (0.2s on/0.2s off)

Remove the battery from the charger, and:

1. Make sure that you are using an original

RCA Communications Systems battery.

Remove power from the battery charger.

Clean the charger and the battery’s

charging contacts using a clean, dry cloth.

2. Make sure the battery temperature isn’t

above 113°F. (45°C)

3. Power up the charger and place the

battery back into the charging cup. If the

LED indicator continues to ash red, most

likely, the battery can no longer be charged

and must be replaced. To determine if the

battery requires replacement, place the

battery pack into another charger that

you know is working properly. If the LED

continually ashes red, battery replacement

is necessary.

Notes:

• When the battery charger detects the

proper battery conditions, rapid charging

begins automatically (steady red LED).

• If the battery temperature is above 113°F

(45°C), the charger will report the fault by

flashing the red LED rapidly (0.2s on/0.2s

off), and will not charge until the battery

temperature is below 113°F (45°C) with

the red LED changing to solid illumination.

BR250TM Professional Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

ANTENNA INFORMATION

• Stubby (3”) antennas are ideal for

communication within limited range, and

standard (6”) antennas optimize coverage;

the longer the antenna, the better the

coverage is. If you use a stubby antenna for

convenience instead of a standard length

antenna, you can expect approximately a

30% reduction in coverage. When using a

two-way radio outdoors, heavy rain, snow,

buildings or thick forest can dramatically

reduce radio coverage.
