BATTERY PACKS
' ' Charging NOTE
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must
be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C.
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119N/BC-
121N/BC-144N for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging)
only. NEVER use other manufacturers' chargers.
The optional BP-209N, BP-210N, BP-211N or BP-222N battery
packs include rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP-
211N) batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the
battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the bat-
tery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the fol-
lowing points should be observed:
• Avoid overcharging— Batteries must be removed from the
charger to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for
more than 24 hours.
• Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted
under normal conditions.
D D Battery pack life
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.
NOTE for the rapid chargers : The charger rapidly charges a
battery pack to a specified level, not a completed level, to prevent
overcharging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a few
more hours (up to 15 hours; depending on battery condition) after
the LED indicator turns green, to charge the battery completely.
