CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Your GXT2000/2050 Series is equipped for using a rechargeable Li-
Polymer battery pack (BATT12Li) which can be recharged using a
18CVP13 desktop charger. 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 BATT12Li 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
and will slowly turn to ORANGE color as the battery pack
increases its charge. Once the battery pack is adequately charged
the LED indicator will change its color to GREEN.
1. Only use a Midland BATT12Li Li-Polymer 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.
4. The radio should be turned off while charging.
5. Charge at a moderate temperature. Do not charge below
freezing or at high temperature.
6. Discontinue using the charger and/or the battery pack if the
battery gets excessively warm.
7. Before prolonged storage, apply some charge to bring the
battery pack to about half charge.
8. The battery pack should be charged at least every 3 months.
9. Remove the radio from the charger when charge is complete.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Your GXT2000/2050 Series has a BATTERY LEVEL METER
that shows the battery power level. The greater the number of bars
visible, the stronger the battery level.
