BATTERY PACKS 3

‘Battery pack charging

The optional BP-202 BATTERY PACK includes rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.

If you want to be able to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the following points should be observed:

1.Avoid overcharging. The charging period should be less than 48 hours.

2.Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging just after transmitting becomes impossible.

‘Charging precautions

NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. This will cause inter- nal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiver.

Recommended temperature range for charging: + 10˚C to + 40˚C (or + 50˚F to +104˚F).

‘About the battery pack

DOperating period

Depending on the attached battery pack, the operating period of the transceiver varies. Refer to p. 7 for operating period details.

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 all day. 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.
