BATTERY PACKS AND ACCESSORIES

I Battery pack charging

The supplied* BP-180
Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times.
Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiv-
er or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
*Optional for versions which come with the BP-170
If you want to be able to charge the battery pack more than
300 times, the following points should be observed:
1. Avoid overcharging. The charging period should be less
than 48 hours.
2. Use the battery until it becomes almost completely
exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend bat-
tery charging just after transmitting becomes impossible.

I Charging precautions

NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. This will cause
internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and
transceiver.
NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time.
Charging may not occur under temperatures of 10°C (50°F)
or over temperatures of 40°C (104°F).
