CHARGING THE NiCd BATTERY PACK
You must charge the battery pack before using it with the
transceiver, or after storing the pack removed from the
transceiver for more than 2 months. It takes several
charge/ discharge cycles before achieving the full battery
pack capacity.
CAUTION:
5
¢
EXCEEDING THE SPECIFIED CHARGE PERIOD SHORTENS
THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE NiCd BATTERY PACK.
THE PROVIDED CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO CHARGE ONLY
THE PROVIDED NiCd BATTERY PACK.
CHARGING OTHER
BATTERY PACKS WILL DAMAGE THE CHARGER AND BATTERY
PACKS.
Note:

Charging should be done within an ambient temperature between
5°C and 40°C. Charging outside this range may not fully charge the
battery.
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a NiCd battery
pack before charging. Using the transceiver while charging its
battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
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.
lf 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.
