CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your XT511 Series is equipped for using an rechargeable NiMH battery
pack which can be recharged using an AC wall adapter (included) or a DC
adapter (included). Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 12
hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the
battery pack when the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from
the charger when the charge time expires. For the location of the
CHARGING JACK see page 17.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is
recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12
hours with the radio turned OFF.
You can also charge the rechargeable NiMH battery pack using the
Dynamo Crank.
To charge using the Dynamo Crank rotate rapidly the Dynamo Crank
handle clockwise or counter-clockwise.
To get the best charging condition, it is recommended to charge the
battery pack thru the Dynamo Crank with the radio turned OFF.
1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries
or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual.
This may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your XT511 Series has a BATTERY LEVEL METER that shows the
battery power level. The greater the number of bars visible, the stronger the
battery level. When the battery level is low, the Battery Shell
icon
will flash in the display indicating your batteries should be replaced or
recharged if using a rechargeable battery pack.
SELECTING THE POWER SOURCE
Your XT511 Series can use either an Alkaline battery or the rechargeable
NiMH battery pack. Just set the BATTERY SOURCE switch to either
“Alkaline” or “Rechargeable” (for NiMH battery pack) mode.
