Frequency Band Selection - Midland Alan 42 DS Handbuch

Recharge of the batteries
The battery recharge can be possible only by using the NiMH rechargeable battery
case.
Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make sure that
when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH batteries should be contained
in the battery compartment!
Use a socket ready accessible for ac/dc adaptor; Connect the socket of the wall
adaptor to a mains power socket and insert the jack of the wall adaptor into the
charge jack of the battery case.
When charging is complete detach the socket of the wall adaptor from the mains.
To obtain the maximum performance and capacity, at the first use of the radio, it is
highly recommended to completely discharge/recharge the batteries 2 or 3 times.
Warnings
! The supplied wall charger is using "standard charging" method. This is a method,
where the charging current is about 10 % of the capacity. Using this method, char-
gers do not automatically disconnect charging when batteries are fully charged.
! You should avoid to keep the radio permanently connected to the wall charger,
when you do not need it.
! The charger is only designed for NiMH rechargeable batteries and cannot be used
for standard Alkaline or other not chargeable batteries. Trying to charge such kind
of batteries can be a risk. Such batteries may leak, explode or even burn and cause
damage or personal injuries!
! Please use only the supplied wall charger type and no other charger.
! Dispose of the batteries according to the procedures set out by local regulations.
! Mains plug used shall remain readily operable.
