BATTERY PACKS

I Battery pack charging

The supplied BP-194
Ni-Cd batteries* and can be charged approx. 300 times.
Charge the batteries before first operating the transceiver or
when they become exhausted.
If you want to be able to charge the batteries 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 batteries until they become completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging
just after transmitting becomes impossible.
*Not supplied with some versions.

I Charging precautions

NEVER attempt to charge dry cell/alkaline 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).

D Operating period
Depending on installed battery pack (batteries), the operating
period of the transceiver varies. Refer to p. 39 for operating
period details.
D Battery life
If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after being
fully charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then fully charge them again.
If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new
batteries must be purchased.
