Installing The Belt Clip; Installing The Hand Strap; Charging The Battery Pack - Kenwood TH-D74A User Manual

INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP

If desired, you can install the supplied belt clip to the
transceiver.
Attach the belt clip firmly using the two supplied M3 x 6 mm
binding screws.
Note ：
◆ Be careful not to pinch your fingers into the belt clip.
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.

INSTALLING THE HAND STRAP

If desired, you can install the commercially available strap
with sufficient strength using the holes of the transceiver.
Note ：
◆ If the strap is thick and does not pass through the holes, install
the strap using the holes of the supplied belt clip.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack can be charged after it has been installed
onto the transceiver. (The battery pack is provided uncharged
for safety purposes.)
1 Confirm that the transceiver power is OFF.
• While charging the battery pack, leave the transceiver
power OFF.
2 Insert the charger plug into the DC-IN jack of the
transceiver.
DC IN jack
3 Plug the charger into an AC wall outlet.
• Charging starts and "Charging" appears on the display.
• "Charging" disappears when charging is completed.
• The backlight is ON when pressing any key while
charging.
• "Charging" does not appear when charging with the
optional KSC-25LS.
4 It takes approximately 3.5 hours to charge an empty
KNB-75L Li-ion battery pack. After 3.5 hours, remove the
charger plug from the transceiver DC-IN jack.
5 Unplug the charger from the AC wall outlet.
Note:
◆ Never leave the battery pack in direct sunlight.
◆ The transceiver becomes warm while charging the battery pack.
◆ While the battery pack is charged, the ambient temperature
must be within 0°C ~ 40°C (32°F ~ 104°F). Otherwise,
charging does not start. If the transceiver senses that the
temperature is more than 60°C (140° F) during charging, the
transceiver stops charging.
◆ Before recharging the battery pack, use the battery pack until
the transceiver stops receiving.
◆ Do not plug the charger into the DC-IN jack for more than 24 hours.
◆ Do not expose the charger to dripping or splashing conditions.
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on
the AC adapter or charger.
◆ Do not place the charger into the liquids.
◆ Unplug the charger as soon as possible after the charging
period is over.
◆ The charger plug for an AC wall outlet should be used to
disconnect an AC adapter from an AC outlet, and the charger
plug must remain readily operable.
◆ After the battery pack is charged, do not unplug and plug the
charger into the AC outlet again. Unplugging the charger will
reset the charging timer and the battery pack will be charged
again. This could result in over-charging.
◆ When the battery is installed on the transceiver and you are
using an optional rapid battery charger, do not charge the
battery from the DC-IN jack. Charging the battery from the
DC-IN jack may result in overcharging the battery which can
result in the shortening of the battery life cycle.
◆ If the battery pack is not used for a long time, the battery
pack capacity temporarily decreases. In this case, charge the
battery and use the battery pack until the transceiver stops
receiving. Repeat this procedure several times. The battery
pack should recover its capacity.
◆ If the charger is plugged into the DC-IN jack before the battery
pack is attached, turn the transceiver power ON and then OFF
again to initiate charging.
◆ Exceeding the specified charge period shortens the useful life
of the KNB-75L battery pack.
◆ The provided charger is designed to charge only the KNB-75L
battery pack. Charging other models of battery packs may
damage the charger and battery pack.
◆ Do not transmit while charging.
◆ When not in use, store the battery pack in a cool and dry place.
◆ Before charging the battery pack, ensure that the release lever
is firmly closed.
◆ Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of
battery disposal.
◆ It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the KNB-75L with the
optional KSC-25LS.
