Charging The Batteries - PERFECTPRO UBOX 500R Mode D'emploi

AC operation
Before you plug the AC cord into the AC socket, make sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries
in the radio and use the AC power cord, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.
Power cord storage is designed to store the cord when the radio is not in use.
Powered via DC IN socket
The radio can be also powered via the DC IN socket which can allow 12 Volt DC, which is designed to
be powered by the vehicle or the boat so you can take the radio with you outdoors or on the boat.
An additional cigarette lighter cable is required (not supplied) for this device.
NOTE
Never use the 12 Volt socket in rainy or moist conditions to prevent moist from entering the radio.
Always keep the rubber cover on the back well closed under these conditions.
NOTE
If no controls are used and no sound output from the radio for 15 minutes, the radio will be put
into standby mode when using the mains power. When the radio is operated on battery power,
the radio will be switched off completely in order to minimize battery usage.

Charging the batteries

Make sure the radio is switched off and connected to the AC mains socket.
When the battery charge indicator LED flashes green, this indicates the batteries are charging.
Batteries will be fully charged in around 5-7 hours. The battery charge indicator LED shows steady
green light when the battery charging process is complete.
NOTE
Duration for charging your batteries fully can vary according to the mAh capacity of the batteries.
Higher mAh batteries require longer charging time.
IMPORTANT
Under some conditions the charging LED indicator may switch off after flashing briefly. This
may happen if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the radio detects that you may be
attempting to recharge alkaline batteries or mixed different types or capacity of rechargeable
battery. In these cases the charging will be stopped.
INSTALL ONLY PRE-CHARGED (TO THE SAME VOLTAGE LEVEL) NIMH BATTERIES WITH "LOW
SELF-DISCHARGE" CHARACTERISTICS. USE OF ORIGINAL PERFECTPRO BATTERIES IS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
