An accessory set, consisting of two battery packs, a charging station with mains plug-in power supply and two headsets, is also available for both radios. Order over the specialized trade or www.audioline.de.

Battery packs: With the rechargeable battery packs, each radio has a standby time of up to 66 hours and a talk time of ca. 22 hours.

Charging station: The radios can be recharged in 12 hours by means of the charging station.

Note: Please do not use different battery packs, normal rechargeable batteries or other power supplies, as these can damage the radios.

Connecting the headset : The radios can be used with an external microphone and earpiece, a so-called headset. In this way, you can keep your hands free for other activities. The connection will be found on the top underneath a cover.

Open the cover on the top of the radio and insert the plug into the socket. The loudspeaker in the radio is switched off when the headset is in use. Make sure that the microphone opening remains unobstructed. When using the headset, we recommend that the keypad lock on the radio is activated so that no settings can be changed unintentionally.
