Charging The Nicd Battery Pack - Kenwood TH-G71E Instruction Manual

CHARGING THE NiCd BATTERY PACK

You must charge the battery pack before using it with the
transceiver, or after storing the pack removed from the
transceiver for more than 2 months. It takes several
charge/ discharge cycles before achieving the full battery
pack capacity.
CAUTION:
◆
EXCEEDING THE SPECIFIED CHARGE PERIOD SHORTENS THE
USEFUL LIFE OF THE NiCd BATTERY PACK.
◆
THE PROVIDED CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO CHARGE ONLY
THE PROVIDED PB-38 OR PB-39 NiCd BATTERY PACK.

use the pack until it is completely discharged. Then recharge the
pack to full capacity.
◆
If the operating time of a battery pack decreases although the battery
pack is fully and correctly charged, the battery pack life is over.
Replace the battery pack.
