5. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും

5.1 ബാറ്ററി ചാർജ് ചെയ്യുന്നു

The Li-ion battery pack is not fully charged at the factory. For optimal performance, fully charge and discharge the battery two or three times before regular use.

എങ്ങനെ ചാർജ് ചെയ്യാം:

1. Plug the AC adaptor into a wall outlet, then connect its cable to the DC jack on the back of the charger. The indicator light will blink orange.
2. Place the battery or the radio (with battery installed) into the charger. Ensure good contact with charging terminals. The indicator light will turn red.
3. A full charge takes approximately 2-5 hours. The lamp turns green when charging is complete.
4. When charging via the Type-C USB port, ensure the radio is OFF. Connect the Type-C USB cable to the port on the battery and the other end to a power source (e.g., wall adapter, PC, power bank). An empty battery will fully charge in about 4 hours. The battery meter on the LCD will indicate charging.

കുറിപ്പ്: It is recommended to power OFF the radio while charging. If powered on, the charger may not detect the correct battery voltage, and the indicator may not turn green when fully charged. For optimal battery life, remove the radio from the charger within 6 hours.
