PREPARATION
INSTALLING/ REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it before use (pages 6 and 7).
Average battery pack life: 10 hours
•Average times are calculated using 5% transmit time, 5% receive time, and 90% standby time.
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.
2Slide 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.
4
INSTALLING/ REMOVING BATTERIES
In place of the battery pack, you can use 3 AA batterie. Use high quality alkaline batteries to enjoy longer periods of battery life.
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.
5
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
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.
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 41°F and 104°F
(5°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 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.
6
1 Plug the AC adapter cable into the adapter jack located on the rear of the charger.
2 Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
3 Slide a battery pack using the supplied holder or a transceiver equipped with a battery pack into the battery pack slot.
• Make sure the metal contacts of the battery pack mate securely with the charger terminals.
• The indicator lights red and charging starts.
4 When charging is completed, the indicator lights green. Remove the battery pack or the tran-sceiver from the battery pack slot.
•It takes approximately 2.5 hours to charge the battery pack.
•When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet.
•When charging a second battery pack, wait for approximately 10 seconds after removing the first battery pack from the charger. If the LED blinks red after installing the second battery pack, remove the battery pack and wait for a few seconds before inserting it again.
