Charging the Battery Pack

Initial charging of the battery pack after purchase or extended storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After repeating the charge/ discharge cycle two or three times, the operating capacity will increase to normal.

◆Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the battery pack may be damaged.

◆After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger. Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may reduce the battery pack life due to overcharging.

Note:

◆The ambient temperature should be between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) 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 transceiver while charging its battery pack will interfere 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.

1 Plug the AC adapter cable into the adapter jack located on the rear of the charger.

2 Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
