CHARGING TIPS
◆
Using the transceiver while charging its battery pack will
interfere with correct charging.
◆
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.
◆
The ambient temperature should be from 5°C to 40°C while
charging is in progress.
When the ambient temperature is in the upper limits (close to
40°C), the charging time may become longer than normal.
◆
The charging times provided are obtained when a battery
pack discharged to 1 V/cell x 6 (Ni-MH) or 3 V/cell x 2 (Li-
ion) is charged at normal temperatures. This charging time
varies depending on the degree of discharge and the ambient
charging temperature.
◆
This charger may be suitable to charge battery packs not listed
herein, due to further technology development. Check your
transceiver Instruction Manual to confi rm whether this charger
is suitable for your battery pack.
◆
If the battery pack contacts are not properly mated with the
charger terminals, the indicator may fl ashing red or may
remain unlit. To resolve this problem, reinsert the battery
pack after cleaning the batter pack contacts and the charger
terminals.
◆
Repeatedly recharging a fully charged battery pack, or almost
fully charged pack, shortens its operating time. To resolve this
problem, use the pack until it is completely discharged, then
recharge the pack to full capacity (Ni-MH) .
◆
The battery life in charge/discharge cycles is approximately
300. However, overcharging and excessive discharging
shortens the battery pack life.
◆
When using this equipment near a radio or television, you may
experience interference with reception.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read all safety instructions before using this charger. For
best results, be aware of all warnings on the charger, the battery
pack, and the product using the battery pack. Follow the provided

•
Do not expose the charger to rain or moisture, to avoid the risk
of fi re or electric shock.
•
Do not use an extension cable unless absolutely necessary.
Improper extension cables can cause fi re or electric shock. If
an extension cable is required, observe the following points:
a) The quantity, size, and shape of pins on the extension
cable plugs must be the same as on the AC adapter
supplied with the charger.
b) The extension cable must be properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
c) The wire size must be adequate to carry the current
required by this charger.
Extension cables shorter than 100 feet:
• Wire size must be 18 AWG or larger
Extension cables 100 to 150 feet, inclusive:
• Wire size must be 16 AWG or larger
•
Always remove the AC adapter from a wall outlet before
attempting to inspect or clean the charger. Removing the
battery packs or changing the controls does not remove the
AC voltage from the charger.
•
Position the AC adapter cable so it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, nor subjected to damage.
•
Always remove the AC adapter from an AC wall outlet by
pulling on the adapter rather than the cable.
•
Do not use the charger if it has a damaged AC adapter or
adapter cable, or if the charger has been damaged in any
way. Contact your
