3. Packing List

Unpack the radio carefully and identify the items listed below before discarding packing materials. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact the carrier or dealer.

Note: Check if the frequency band on the antenna label matches that on the radio label. If not, please contact your dealer.

4. Component Installation

4.1 Installing / Removing the Antenna

• Installing: Screw the antenna into the connector on the top of the transceiver by holding the antenna at its base and turning it clockwise until secure.
• Removing: Turn the antenna counter-clockwise to remove it.

4.2 Battery Installation and Removal

Installation: Align the battery parallel to the radio body, ensuring the lower edge of the battery is about 1-2cm below the edge of the radio. After aligning with the rails, slide the battery upward and lock the fastening screws.

Disassembly: Loosen the captive screws until they are free from the radio, then slide the battery downward until it is free from the body of the radio.

Before installing or removing the battery, ensure the radio is completely turned off by turning the power/volume knob counterclockwise.

4.3 Installing the Additional Speaker/Microphone (Optional)

Pry open the rubber MIC-Headset jack cover and then insert the Speaker/Microphone plug into the double jack.

5. Charging and Battery Maintenance

5.1 Charging the Battery Pack

The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time or after extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring it to its normal maximum operating capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/discharging the battery two or three times. If operating time decreases even after correct charging, replace the battery.

5.2 Charger Supplied

Please use the specified charger provided by Baofeng. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After installing the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a red flashing lamp or voice prompt, please charge the battery.

5.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery

• Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
• The ambient temperature should be between 5°C~40°C (40F - 105F) while charging. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.
• Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger to avoid interference with correct charging.
• Do not cut off power or remove the battery during charging until the green light is on.
• Do not recharge a fully charged battery pack; this may shorten its life or damage it.
• Do not charge a damp battery; dry it before charging to avoid damage.

WARNING: When keys, ornamental chain, or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may become damaged or injure a human. If the battery terminals are short-circuited, it will generate a lot of heat. Take care when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal container.

5.4 How to Charge

1. Plug the AC Adaptor into the AC outlet, then plug the cable of the AC Adaptor into the DC jack located on the back of the charger. The indicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.
2. Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Ensure the battery terminals are in good contact with charging terminals. The indicator light turns red, indicating charging has begun.
3. It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the lamp lights green, charging is completed. Remove the battery or the radio unit with its battery from the socket.

Note: When charging a radio (with battery), the indicating lamp will not turn green to show the fully charged status if the radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation. The radio consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery has been fully charged.

LED Indicator Status

Note: Trouble means battery too warm, battery short-circuited or charger short-circuited.

5.5 Using the Type-C Charger

The Type-C charger is a handy port that allows you to conveniently charge your Li-ion battery pack.

1. Make sure your radio is turned OFF.
2. Plug the Type-C cable into the Type-C charging port on your battery. Connect the other end of the micro-USB charger to a wall power outlet.
3. An empty battery will be fully charged in 4 hours.
4. The battery meter on LCD will move to indicate the battery is charging.

Note: It is recommended to power OFF your radio while charging. However, if power is turned on while charging, you may not be able to transmit a message if the battery is completely empty. Allow time for the battery to charge to 1 bar before attempting to transmit a message. For optimal battery life, remove the radio from the charger within 6 hours. Do not store the radio while connected to the charger.

5.6 Battery Maintenance

• Charge the battery only at normal room temperature.
• When charging the battery on the radio, turn off the radio to speed up charging.
• Do not unplug the charger or remove the battery and/or radio until charging is complete.
• Do not charge a wet battery.
• If the operating time of your radio is greatly reduced, consider purchasing a new battery.
• Below freezing temperatures reduce battery performance. Keep a spare battery for you when working in cold environments.
• Dust can interfere with the contacts on the battery. If necessary, wipe the contacts with a clean cloth to ensure proper contact with the radio and charger.
• If the battery becomes wet, remove it from the radio, dry it with a towel, and place it in a plastic bag with a small amount of desiccant. Seal the bag and leave it overnight. This method is only effective for light splashes (e.g., light rain). A soaked radio will most likely not be repairable.

5.7 How to Store the Battery

• If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
• It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
• Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.

WARNING: Do not short circuit the battery terminals. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack. Never store the battery in unsafe surroundings, as a short may cause an explosion. Do not put the battery in a hot environment or throw it into a fire, as it may cause an explosion.
