■About the battery pack

DOperating period

Depending on the attached battery pack, the operating period of the transceiver varies. Refer to the last page for battery pack speciﬁcations.

DBattery pack life

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again.

If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a new battery pack must be purchased.

■Installing batteries in the battery case

When using a battery case, install 8 AA (R6) size Ni-Cd or al- kaline batteries as illustrated below.

q Remove the bat- tery case from the transceiver.

wInstall 8 ⋅ AA (R6)

size Ni-Cd or alka- line batteries.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.

●NEVER connect DC power to the transceiver when in- stalling dry cell or alkaline batteries. Such a connection will damage the transceiver.

●Be careful of battery overcharging. When operating via ex- ternal DC power, installed batteries are simultaneously charged.

●Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat- tery terminals once a week.
