PREPARATION

■ Charging the Optional NiCd Battery Pack

The optional battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use (refer to the battery pack instruction manual).

◆

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. IF THE CHARGER POWER IS RESET (TURNED ON AFTER BEING TURNED OFF), RECHARGING WILL START AGAIN AND THE BATTERY PACK WILL BECOME OVERCHARGED.

Initially charging 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 two or three times, the operating capacity will increase to normal.

■ Installing/ Removing the Optional NiCd Battery Pack

Only use the KNB-14 and KNB-15A battery packs with this transceiver.

◆

DO NOT SHORT THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY BY FIRE.

◆

NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CASING FROM THE BATTERY PACK.

1 Match the four grooves

of the battery pack with the corresponding guides on the back of the transceiver.

2 Slide the battery pack

along the back of the transceiver until the release latch on the base of the transceiver locks.

3 To remove the battery

pack, pull back on the release latch and slide the pack away from the transceiver.

Note:

If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location may get hot during continuous transmission or when left sitting in a hot environment.
