Link Quad Charger GCL100
For the Link Wireless Telephone
Link Quad Charger
The Link Quad Charger is designed to simultaneously
charge four NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) PTS360
Battery Packs. The Link Quad Charger is only autho-
rized for use in the U.S. and Canada. The power sup-
ply that is required for this unit is the SpectraLink
part number QPS200A.
The Link Quad Charger may be mounted on a hori-
zontal or vertical surface.
Set up the Link Quad Charger by plugging the power
supply into the Link Quad Charger and into an
appropriate wall outlet. A solid red LED above an
empty charger slot indicates that the slot is idle and
ready for use. If the LEDs do not light, check the
power supply and plug connection to the charger. If
the charger appears to be plugged in correctly, make
sure the wall outlet has power.
Do not place anything in the Link Quad Charger
other than the Battery Packs for the Link Wireless
Telephone. You might damage the contacts. Bent
contacts can keep the Battery Pack from charging.
Using the Link Quad Charger
Remove the Battery Pack from the Link Wireless
Telephone by sliding the Battery Pack down and off
while pressing the Battery Pack release button on the
back of the handset.
Place the Battery Pack in a charging slot by aligning the
top of the Battery Pack with the tracks on the charging
slot then gently sliding the Battery Pack upward onto the
charging slot. While the Battery Pack is in the charging
slot, the LED above the slot will indicate the status of the
charging process and/or the Battery Pack.
LED Status Indicators
Solid Green—the Battery Pack is charging. The Link
Quad Charger takes 60-90 minutes to fully charge a
Battery Pack. If the NiMH Battery Pack is hot or cold
when placed in the charger, it may take longer to charge.
Flashing green—the Battery Pack is fully charged and
ready for use. You may leave a fully charged Battery Pack
in the Link Quad Charger. However, if you remove a fully
charged Battery Pack then replace it in the charger, the
charger LED will be solid green until the charger deter-
mines that this Battery Pack is fully charged. It may take a
few minutes to give the flashing green indication.
Solid red or flashing red—the Battery Pack in the char-
ger is no longer capable of retaining a charge and is not
usable. If the Battery Pack will not charge, do not contin-
ue to charge the Battery Pack. Dispose of it properly and
do not attempt to use it in the Wireless Telephone. Do
not attempt to open or repair a defective Battery Pack.
Flashing red/green—there is a problem with either the
Battery Pack or charger. It may mean the Battery Pack
being charged is too hot or too cold. Allow the Battery
Pack to stabilize at room temperature and try again. If
the Battery Pack will not charge, do not continue to
charge the Battery Pack. Dispose of it properly and do
not attempt to use it in the Wireless Telephone. Do not
attempt to open or repair a defective Battery Pack. If
several different Battery Packs cause the charger to show
a flashing red or red/green LED, the charger may not be
working properly. To verify this, check the Battery Pack in
a different slot or substitute another charger and repeat
the operation that caused the failure. If the same Battery
Pack lights a green LED when inserted in a different slot
or charger, the first charger is faulty. Contact your service
representative for assistance.

Never use non-SpectraLink charging units as they could damage

It is normal for the Battery Pack to become warm when charging.
Recycle or dispose of Battery Packs according to local
