Put 880 in its case>case top presses keys>light remains on all the time 880 is in case draining battery. Key lock does not fix this.

One of the hidden features turns the light off. Pressing the 5 with the radio off toggles between off and normal (auto) for the light. There are quite a few hidden settings for this radio. An internet search for PL880 Hidden Features will give you more information. I have not used this setting.

How do you charge the battery?

The radio automatically goes into charge mode when the radio is on off and you plug in the 5.1 charger supply (Not included). However, old cell phone plug in the wall chargers work as long as it's 5.1 volts with the appropriate jack to plug into the radio. You can also charge the radio off of any USB output plug. It not only charges the PL880 but it also puts a timer on the display which shows how long it has been charges and shows the stop time when it is fully charged. If you have the appropriate charger, you can also remove the battery and charge it but the radio does a great job on charging the battery. I get about 14 to 16 hours of use off the battery per charge.

Why won’t my battery charge?

It only charges the battery when it's off. Using a USB voltage and current meter, the pl-880 draws 1 ma @5v on with or without the battery. When off, it draws 37ma @ 5v, when the battery is in the radio.

What is the firmware version?

Do not know, but it works well. There is no frequency drift or bleeding.
