@ Battery pack charging
The supplied* BP-171 or BP-180 Battery Pack includes
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx.
300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the
transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
"Optional for versions which come with the BP-170 BATTERY CASE.
If you want to be able to charge the battery pack 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 battery until it becomes almost completely ex-
hausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging just after transmitting becomes impossible.
@ Charging precautions
NEVER attempt to charge dry cell 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).
BATTERY PACKS AND ACCESSORIES
DO NOT attempt to charge a fully charged battery pack.
Full charge capacity may become lower when repeatedly
recharging after only partial discharging. In this case, discharge
almost completely through normal use before recharging.
