The Grand Tour5
Charger Base
The handset comes with a charger base 
(shown at the right). The rear slot of the 
charger is for the spare battery and 
automatically starts its discharge function 
when it detects that discharging is necessary. 
The front slot functions as a cradle for the 
handset and a charger for the handset 
battery. It provides rapid charging only.
The unit has LEDs that indicate battery 
status while charging. The LEDs flash and 
use the colors red, green, and amber to 
indicate different conditions (shown in  
Ta b l e  3).

Step 2: Charge the Batteries
1.Remove the handset’s carrying case, if it has one.
2. Turn the power OFF.
3. Insert the handset (with the battery in 
it) in the front slot of the charger base 
(shown at right).
The Handset LED changes to amber 
and then to red. This indicates rapid 
charging.
NoteIf you place a fully charged battery 
in the charger base, it detects the 
charged condition and cancels 
rapid charging. The Handset LED 
changes to amber, red, and then 
green.
4. If you have a spare battery, insert it in the rear slot of the charger base.
The Battery LED changes to amber while waiting for the handset to finish 
charging or alternates between green and amber to indicate discharge is in 
progress.
5. Remove the handset or spare battery when the LEDs change to a steady green.
The steady green LED indicates a fully charged element. The charger base 
switches to a “trickle charge” until you remove the handset or battery.
Important!Do not use the handset before its battery has completed the rapid 
charge cycle (steady red), even if the battery icon reports full strength. 
The handset has reduced talk/standby time under these conditions.
