Charging the Battery Pack

Cautions
y The battery pack is rechargeable about 300 times. However, improper use such as overcharge or
over-discharge can shorten its service life.
y The battery pack is a consumable item. Recharging the battery pack repeatedly will gradually reduce
the charge capacity and duration of its use.
y If the transceiver is not used for a long period of time with the battery pack installed, deterioration of
the battery pack can accelerate.
y If the transceiver is unused for a long period of time, be sure to store it with the battery pack removed.
When the transceiver and battery are stored for an extended period, install the battery pack biannually
and recharge the battery pack about 50% to prevent it from over-discharging.
y Storing the battery pack in a high-temperature environment can accelerate deterioration. Store the
battery pack in a place where the ambient temperature is −20 °C to +50 °C (−4 °F to +122 °F).
y Be careful not to drop or strongly impact the battery pack. It can break.
