Charging the battery pack
Your TX6500S includes a BCD013 rapid desktop charger and a PS001 AC adaptor. The rapid charger
will recharge the battery pack in around 3 hours.
To charge the battery:
1. Plug the PS001 AC adaptor into a standard 240 volt outlet.
2. Plug the lead from the PS001 into the charging socket on the rear of the BCD013 radio charger.
3. Place the TX6500S with battery attached into the charging slot. The Red charging LED will light up.
4. Once the battery is charged, the LED will change to Green.
NOTE:
If the charger detects a fault condition and is unable to charge the battery, the Red charge LED
will flash.
Battery life
The time taken to discharge the battery pack will depend on how you use your TX6500S. The 2000
mAh battery pack is powerful enough for a full days use under average conditions.
The following is a rough guide based on an average usage of 5% transmit, 5% receive and 90% standby.

Battery low alert
As the battery voltage is depleted the internal segments of the battery icon will extinguish one
by one. When the last segment is extinguished the remaining battery outline will flash to indicate
the battery level is low. You should recharge the battery pack as soon as possible.
If you need to continue using your radio when the battery indicator is flashing, you can extend the
life by selecting Low Transmit power.
Cycling your battery pack
Cycling of the Li-ion battery is not necessary.
