BATTERY CHARGING

Battery charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the Ni-Cd bat-
teries 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:
+50°F to +104°F (+10°C to +40°C)
• Use the supplied AC adapter (BC-147A) only. NEVER use
other adapters.
NEVER connect DC power to the battery case when in-
stalling alkaline batteries. Such a connection will damage
the transceiver.
