outlet.
It takes 14–16 hours to recharge Ni-MH batter-
ies or 7–8 hours to recharge Ni-Cd batteries that
are fully discharged.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet, then disconnect the
charger from the CB.
Charging Tips
Fully discharge Ni-Cd batteries occasionally by
using the TRC-239 until the TX/BATT indicator
lights, then fully recharge the batteries. This
helps restore and maintain the ability of the bat-
teries to take a maximum charge. (This does not
apply to Ni-MH batteries.)
To prevent damage to rechargeable batteries,
never charge them in an area where the temper-
ature is above 122°F (50°C) or below 32°F
(0°C).
Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging can
severely reduce the batteries’ useful life.
Always disconnect the charger's AC plug before
you disconnect the barrel plug.
Important:
This CB can use nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. At
the end of a nickel-cadmium bat-
tery's useful life, it must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazard-
ous waste management authorities
for information on recycling or disposal programs in
your area or call 1-800-843-7422. Some options that
