CHARGING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK
Your LXT340/345 Series is equipped for using an optional recharge-
able NiMH battery pack which can be recharged with the optional
desktop charger (as described below). The LXT340/345 can also be
charged by inserting the AC adapter into the radio charge jack. Initial
charge time is 24 hours. Charge time is about 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.
To charge using a Desktop Charger:
1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.
2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if
charging in vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED
indicator with RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
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.
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.
LOW BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your LXT340/345 Series has a LOW BATTERY ICON which
will only appear on the LCD display if the battery voltage level is low.
At this point, the battery needs to be charged for at least 12hrs.
