PREPARATION

CHARGING THE Ni-MH BATTERY PACK

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 should 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 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.

Plug the AC adaptor cable into the

adaptor jack located at the rear of the charger.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Slide the Ni-MH battery pack or transceiver with a Ni-MH battery pack into the charger.

Make sure the battery pack terminals

are in contact with the charger terminals by aligning the grooves of the battery pack with the tabs of the charger. The charger LED lights red and charging begins.

When charging is completed, the indicator lights green. Remove the battery pack or the transceiver with a battery pack from the charger.

It takes approximately 3 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.
