Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 8-12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the Nautico1 when the low battery indicator comes on. Remove the radio from the charger when the charge time expires. To Charge Using Optional AC or DC Charger: 1. Place the rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack into the radio 2. Connect the AC adapter into an AC wall outlet 3. Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC Cigarette Lighter adapter if charging in vehicle) into the charging jack on the side of the radio. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries or battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual. This may cause leakage and damage the radio. For long-term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and remove the batteries from the radio. !
