Chapter2. Charging the Battery
2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity will reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when it's operating time decreases even though it has been fully and correctly charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
2.2 Charger Supplied
Please use the specified charger provided by our company. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After installing the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.
2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack, as our company cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b. The ambient temperature should be between 5-40 (40°F - 105°F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging. d. To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until
the green light is on. e. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery
pack. f. Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid damage.
WARNING
When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may become damage or injure a human. If the battery terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat. Take care when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal container.
2.4 How to Charge
a. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the AC adaptor into the DC jack located on the back of the charger. The indicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.
b. Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery terminals are good in contact with charging terminals. The indicator light turns to red--- charging begins.
c. It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the lamp lights green, the charging is completed. Remove the battery or the radio unit with its battery from socket.
When charging a radio (with battery) the indicating lamp will not turn into green to show the fully charged status if the radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation. The radio consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery has been fully charged.

NOTE: To ensure the best reception volume, keep the distance between the microphone and the mouth at the time of transmission from 2.5 cm to 5 cm.
5.4 Channel selection
There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode. For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode. However, Frequency (VFO) mode is very handy for experimentation out in the field. Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for programming channels into memory. In Channel (MR) mode you can navigate up and down the channel by using the / keys or the encoder. Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
5.5 Frequency (VFO) mode
In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the / keys. Each press will increment or decrement your frequency according to the frequency step you've set your transceiver to. You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy. The following example assumes the use of a 12.5 kHz frequency step. Example. Entering the frequency 436.61250 MHz on display A a. In standby mode, press and hold the [MENU] key to switch to the frequency (VFO) mode. b. Press [EXIT] until the icon appears next to the upper display. . c. Enter [4][3][6][6][1][2][5] [0] on the numeric keypad.
WARNING!
Just because you can program in a channel does not mean you're automatically authorized to use that frequency. Transmitting on frequencies you're not authorized to operate on is illegal, and in most jurisdictions a serious offence. However, it is legal in most jurisdictions to listen. Contact your local regulatory body for further information on what laws, rules and regulations apply to your area.
5.6 Channel (MR) mode
The use of Channel (MR) mode is dependent on actually having programmed in some channels to use. Once you have channels programmed and ready, you can use the / keys or the encoder to navigate between channels.
