charging is taking place, the LED will glow red.
4. After about 3 hours charging, the LED will turn green to indicate that the battery is now fully
charged.
Note: A new or stored (more than two months) battery pack will not reach its full capacity with the
first charging. After 2 or 3 times charging and discharging, it will reach it ́ s full capacity.

5.1.1. Low Battery Voltage Warning

When the voltage is lower than the selected value, a voice announcement „Please change
battery" is heard every 5 seconds. No more transmissions by PTT button will be allowed and you
hear an alert sound.

5.2. Installing the Speaker Microphone

unit.
Other microphones may be used as well, please make sure to use only accessory items with
"Kenwood" wiring.
Note: The Tectalk Worker 2 is not fully water resistant when using external accessories. Close the
rubber cover over the sockets if an external headset is not used.

5.3. Selecting a Channel

This radio is one of the first featuring 16 real PMR446 channels. These 16 channels have been
made available by the authorities just recently. Older PMR446 only support 8 real PMR channels.
If you plan to use the Albrecht Tectalk Worker 2 with older 8 channel radios we recommend to use
the first eight channels. These are the channels which are compatible on all PMR446 radios.
Turn the channel knob to select your desired channel.
