BATTERY INFORMATION 5. I
When battery pack voltage is low, the transceiver's
output power is reduced and its functions do not
operate properly.
Slide the battery pack onto the base of the trans-
ceiver until you hear a click.
Push up the [RELEASE] BUTTON, and slide the
battery pack to the right to remove it from the
transceiver.
The following problems are usually caused by a
low battery pack:
e Able to transmit for only a short time.
e Audio volume is low or nil.
e Squelch does not function.
e Output power seems to be lower than normal.
eNEVER throw the battery pack into a fire.
Battery gas may explode.
eNEVER out the battery pack in water. |f the
battery pack is wet, wipe it dry before charging.
e NEVER short the terminals on the top panel of
the battery pack. When the battery pack is
separated from the transceiver, insert the plastic
insulator strip (supplied) over the terminals.
Repeatedly charging a NiCd battery pack that is
partially discharged may reduce its charge capacity.
If the battery capacity seems to be low, com-
pletely discharge the battery pack through normal
use before recharging.
