2.0.3 Vehicle chargers only
It is safe to switch off the ignition while there is still a battery in the charger. But if the vehicle will not be used
again for some time, check whether charging will continue while the ignition is off, and consider what effect
this might have on the vehicle battery.
To check, place the battery in the charger and switch off the vehicle ignition:
If no charger LED stays lit, the charger will resume charging only when the ignition is switched on
l
again. Minimal charger standby power will be drawn from the vehicle battery until then.
If a charger LED stays lit, the charger will continue to charge the radio battery even while the ignition
l
is off, and will continue to draw power from the vehicle battery. Once the battery is charged, the
charger draws minimal current and has little effect on a healthy vehicle battery.
Receiving calls while charging (not for battery-only vehicle
charger)
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio before placing it in the charger.
You can receive a call while the radio is in the charger, but your radio performance may be degraded. If you
do remove the radio from the charger to answer a call, the call will not be disrupted.
Removing the radio from the charger to make or receive a call ends the charging process. Charging safely
resumes when the radio is reinserted into the charger.
If a radio was turned on while being charged, the battery indicator may not be accurate when the radio is
initially removed from the charger. After a few seconds, the battery indicator is updated to display the
amount of charge available in the battery.
Low battery warning
Notice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge every time you use it, or you will shorten the service
life of the battery.
When the battery is low, your radio warns you in the following ways:
The battery symbol on the radio display looks empty.
l
The status LED on the radio slowly flashes red.
l
A high-pitched beep sounds.
l
You should recharge or replace the battery as soon as possible.
When the battery is completely empty, the message Battery is flat appears on the display. The radio emits
a long, low-pitched beep and then stops working. Turn off the radio.
To maintain its life, it is recommended to charge the battery after each prolonged use, as
applicable.
