Your LXT500/535 Series is equipped to use a rechargeable NiMH battery pack 

which can be recharged with the optional desktop charger (as described below).  

The LXT500/535 can also be charged by inserting the AC adapter into the radio 

charge jack.  Initial charge time is 24 hours.  Charge time is about 12 hours 

thereafter.  For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack 

when the low battery icon comes on.  Remove the radios from the charger when 

the charge time expires.

1. Place the rechargeable battery packs in the radios.

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 desktop charger jack.

4. Place the units into the desktop charger slot and note that the LED 

indicator with 

RED color will light up, indicating charging function.
