Ensure the battery pack is securely attached to the back of the walkie talkie. Align the battery with the contacts and slide it into place until it clicks.

4.2 Charging the Battery

The walkie talkies come with a 1500mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery. There are two primary charging methods:

• Interphone Charging: Place the entire walkie talkie unit into the charging base.
• Battery Charging: Remove the battery pack from the walkie talkie and place only the battery pack into the charging base.

Connect the USB cable from the charging base to a compatible USB power source (e.g., PC, car charger, wall adapter, power bank). The charging indicator light will be red during charging and turn green when fully charged. A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours, providing 18-24 hours of continuous use.
