CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK FOR MORE
THAN 5 DAYS MAY REDUCE THE BATTERY
PACK LIFE.
Note: The ambient temperature should be
between 41 and 104°F (5 and 40°) while
charging is in progress. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery. Always
switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a
battery pack before charging. Using the trans-
ceiver while charging its battery pack will in-
terfere with correct charging. The battery pack
life is over when its operating time decreases
even though it is fully and correctly charged.
Replace the battery pack.
