allow you to charge 2 transceivers at the same time using a connector
cable and 1 adaptor, You may also charge each transceiver separately
by an additional charger that come with the package.
The cradle charger LED lights red during charging, and takes 14 to 16
hours to complete.

CAUTION:
1. Located inside the transceiver’s battery compartment is a charging
switch, which must be set to “ON” while charging. If alkaline batteries
are used, switch the set to “OFF”. To avoid risk of fire or inquiry, do no
switch to ON when using alkaline batteries. Directly charge Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries by using an optional 1-bay cradle charger.
2. DO NOT link the individual chargers together while using separate
adaptors to charge.
WARNING:
1. To maintain the battery life of your 2-way radios we recommend that
you only charge batteries when needed. Overcharging the batteries
will reduce performance.
2. For best results ensure that the handsets are switched OFF before
charging
