Battery Information
Charging the Battery
Your radio is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-
lon) battery. To avoid damage and comply
with warranty terms, charge the battery
using only an original RCA charger, exactly
as described in the charger user guide.
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.
Note: Charge a new battery 12 to 14 hours
before initial use for best performance.
Preparing Your Radio for Initial Use
Setting Up Your Charger
1. Plug the adapter’s AC connector into the
AC outlet socket. (see image A)
2. Plug the adapter’s DC connector into the
DC socket on the back of the charger. (see
image B)
3. Place the radio with the battery attached,
or the battery alone, in the charger. (see
image C)
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 two hours later, indicating
the battery is fully charged.
