Battery
CAUTION 
The Li-Ion rechargeable battery should only be charged using 
Midland desktop chargers. 
To charge the battery: 
 
1. Insert the wall mount adaptor cord into the back of the drop-in charging cradle. 
2. Plug the other end of the wall mount adaptor into the appropriate AC power 
source.
3. Place the radio into the desktop charger. The metal pads on the radio must
contact the mating pads in the charger.
4. Observe that the red light on the front of the charger glows red to indicate that
the radio is properly seated and the charger is operating in fast charge mode.
5. Allow the batteries to charge for 12 to 15 hours for initial charge.
CAUTION 
The charger is only designed to charge the battery, not power the 
radio. You can monitor incoming calls while the radio is charging. 
However, you should always remove the radio from the charger 
before transmitting. 
WARNING 
The LED on the front of the charger glows green after 4 hours to indicate 
the radio is fully charged. However, you should leave your radio in the 
charger 12 to 15 hours for initial charge. 
WARNING 
See troubleshooting near the end of this manual for additional desktop 
charger LED alerts. 
As you use your radio, the battery level icon will show the battery power 
remaining. When the icon shows empty (no bars), it is time to recharge 
the battery.
