CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

ATTENTION:

◆ Always switch OFF a transceiver equipped with a battery pack before inserting the transceiver into the charger.

1 Plug the AC adapter cable into the jack located on the rear of the charger.

2 Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.

3 Slide a battery pack or a transceiver equipped with a battery pack into the

charging slot of the charger.

4 When charging is completed, the indicator flashing green. Remove the battery

pack or the transceiver from the charging slot of 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.

Note:

◆ When the indicator blinks red, the battery pack is either defective or the battery pack contacts are not properly mated with those of the charger.

◆ When the indicator ashes green and orange, the battery pack has not satised the charging start temperature. Remove the battery pack from the charger and wait until it reaches a normal temperature before charging it again.

◆ The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C while charging is in progress. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the battery.

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

INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP

If necessary, attach the belt clip using the two

Belt clip

supplied M3 x 8 mm binding screws.

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.

◆ Use the Phillips #2 screwdriver.

CAUTION

◆ Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the belt clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver. Acrylic ester, which is contained in these glues, may crack the transceiver’s back panel.
