Setup
- Unpack the Charger: Carefully remove the charger cradle and AC power adapter from their packaging.
- Connect the Power Adapter: Insert the DC plug of the power adapter cable into the power input port located on the back or side of the charger cradle.
- Plug into Power Outlet: Plug the AC power adapter into a standard wall outlet (100-240V AC, 50-60Hz). Ensure the outlet provides the correct voltage for your region.
- Initial Indicator Check: Upon connecting to power, the charger's indicator lights may briefly illuminate or remain off, depending on the model's design.
Operating Instructions
- Insert Battery/Radio: Carefully place the Wouxun walkie talkie (with battery attached) or the battery alone into the charging slot of the charger cradle. Ensure the battery contacts align correctly with the charger's pins.
- Observe Charging Indicator:
- A red or orange light (labeled "CHARGE" or similar) indicates that the battery is currently charging.
- A green light (labeled "FULL" or similar) indicates that the battery is fully charged.
- Charging Time: Charging time varies depending on the battery's capacity and its current charge level. Do not overcharge the battery by leaving it on the charger for extended periods after it is full.
- Remove Battery/Radio: Once the green "FULL" indicator light illuminates, carefully remove the walkie talkie or battery from the charger.
Note: Always ensure the charger is placed on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources during operation.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Contact Pins: Periodically inspect the charging pins inside the cradle for dust or debris. If necessary, gently clean them with a dry cotton swab. Do not bend the pins.
- Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the power adapter cable excessively. Do not pull the cable to disconnect from the outlet; always grasp the plug.
Troubleshooting
