2 BATTERY CHARGING

■Battery installation

Before installing, or replacing the batteries, push [PWR] for 1 sec. to turn the power OFF.

qRemove the battery cover from the receiver.

wInstall 2 R6 (AA) size Ni- Cd or Ni-MH batteries.

• Be sure to observe the cor- rect polarity.

Keep the battery contacts

clean to avoid rust or

poor contact. It’s a good

idea to clean the battery terminals once a week.

■Caution

DBattery caution

•CAUTION! NEVER short the battery terminals. Also, current may ﬂow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery cells in handbags, etc.

•NEVER mix old and new batteries.

•Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and capacity.

Either of the above may cause a ﬁre hazard or damage the receiver if ignored.

•NEVER incinerate used battery cells. Internal battery gas may cause explosion.

If your re-chargeable batteries seem to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the power ON overnight. Then fully charge the batteries again. If the batteries still does not retain a charge (or very lit- tle charge), a new battery cells must be purchased.

DCharging caution

RWARNING! NEVER charge dry or alkaline batteries.

AVOID over charging— The installed re-chargeable batteries can be charged during operation when the AC adapter or the optional cigarette lighter cable is connected. To prevent over charging, the IC-R5 has charging timer that automatically dis- connecting the charging line electronically after 15 hours from charging. However, the charging timer will reset and start charging again when disconnect then re-connecting the AC adapter or CP-18A/E more than 1 min. interval.

•Recommended temperature for charging: ±0˚C to +40˚C (; +32˚F to +140˚F)

•Connect the supplied (or optional for UK and Italy versions) AC adapter or optional cigarette lighter cable only when charging the installed Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries. NEVER use other manufactures’ chargers.

CAUTION: BE SURE to disconnect the CP-18A/E from

the cigarette lighter socket when charging is ﬁnished, be-

cause, a slight current still follows in the CP-18A/E and the vehicle’s battery will become exhausted.
