FUNCTIONS
INSTALLATION
POWER SOURCE:
The FR-70 works on the supplied rechargeable
NiMH batteries, 4 x size AAA, power 4.8V or
by using 4 AAA penlite batteries (excl.). If you
decide to install separate rechargeable batter-
ies, you’ll need to recharge these in an external
charger. The recharge station that comes with
the FR-70 is only suitable for recharging the
supplied battery packs.
1. First, remove the belt clip by pressing the lock
tab back and pushing the belt clip upwards
and out of the radiophone.
2. Now open the battery compartment by releas-
ing the tab at the bottom and lifting the bat-
tery cover.
3. Install the batteries as indicated and pay
attention to
the polarities
(+ and -).
4. Close the bat-
tery compart-
ment and put
the belt clip
back on the
radiophone.
CHARGER:
Plug the adaptor into a 230V 50Hz wall socket
and place the walkie-talkies onto the recharge
station to charge the batteries, the charge indi-
cators will now turn red.
CHARGING:
Charging the FR-70 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-
rechargeable batteries.
HEADSET:
The FR-70 is provided with a connection for a
headset with a 2.5mm plug at the right side,
underneath the rubber cap.
