PREPARATION

CHARGING THE Ni-MH BATTERY PACK

The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use.

The initial charging of the battery pack after purchase or extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After repeating the charge/discharge cycle 2 or 3 times, the operating capacity will increase to normal.

◆ Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged.

◆ After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the battery pack life due to overcharging.

Note:

◆ The ambient temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.

◆ Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a Ni-MH battery pack before charging. Using the transceiver while charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.

◆ The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery pack.
