SilverCrest SFG 8000 B2
9.2. Charging the batteries
If you use rechargeable batteries to power your SilverCrest SFG 8000 B2 handheld radio transceiver set,
read this chapter carefully.
9.2.1. Preparing the charging cradle
Place the charging cradle on a stable, flat surface.
Plug the power adapter plug into the power receptacle [28] of the charging cradle.
Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
The charging cradle's power adapter consumes power even if there is no handheld radio
transceiver placed onto it. It is therefore recommended that you unplug the power adapter from
the wall outlet to completely separate it from the wall outlet and avoid any unnecessary power
consumption.
9.2.2. Charging the batteries
Charge the battery packs of both handheld radio transceivers completely before using them for
the first time. Charging takes approx. 12 hours.
Place the handheld transceivers onto the charging cradle as
shown.
The charging indicator [29] located on top of the charging cradle
illuminates when a transceiver has been inserted properly and its
battery is being charged. Charging takes approx. 12 hours. The
charging indicator [29] is still illuminated when the batteries are
fully charged.
You can also charge a handheld transceiver without the cradle. To do so, insert the power
adapter plug into the power adapter socket [2] of the handheld transceiver. To do this, open
the rubber cover that protects the power adapter socket [2].
16 - English
Make sure that the wall outlet is nearby and easily accessible so that you
can unplug the power adapter quickly in case of an emergency. Otherwise
a short circuit or fire can occur.
