CHARGING:
Charging the FR-60 units is timer-controlled. As
soon as you place the walkie-talkies into the char-
ger, the red charge indicators will switch on and
the battery pack starts charging. When the light
turns green, the charging period is finished and the
battery pack is fully charged. However, you don't
need to wait for the light to become green, but that
means the batteries may not be fully charged. Each
time you replace the batteries (even when not yet
exhausted) the timer circuit will restart. There's no
risk of overcharging, because the charging current
is electronically restricted.
Attention: When installing individual AAA batter-
ies, you can still place the walkie-talkies onto the
charger, but the charge indicators won't light up
and the batteries will not be charged. You can also
place the units on the charger when using non-
