BATTERY CHARGING

Battery cautions

NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to
the transceiver.
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may
flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs in handbags, etc.
AVOID leave the battery pack with fully charged or completely
discharged condition for long time. It makes shorter battery
life. In case of leaving the battery pack for long time, must be
in safekeeping after discharge or use the battery until the bat-
tery indicator shows middle level, then release from the trans-
ceiver.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a
new battery pack must be purchased.

Battery charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF
while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
• Use the supplied charger (AD-95) only. NEVER use other
manufactures' charger.
• An optional cable OPC-515L (for 13.8 V power source) or
CP-17L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used in-
stead of the AC adapters of above chargers.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the battery pack in the charger
more than 1 hour after the charging indicator lights OFF. It
will make shorter battery life, due to over charging.
