7BATTERY CHARGING

■Battery charging

Prior to using the transceiver for the ﬁrst time, the Ni-Cd bat-

teries must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

• Recommended temperature range for charging:

+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)

• Use the supplied charger (BC-150) only. NEVERuse an

other manufactures charger.

NEVER connect DC power to the battery case when in-

stalling alkaline batteries. Such a connection will damage

the transceiver.

CAUTION:To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF

while charging.

■Battery cautions

NEVER incinerate used Ni-Cd batteries. Internal battery gas

may cause an explosion.

NEVER immerse batteries in water. If the battery case be-

comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the

transceiver.

NEVERshort terminals of the battery case. Also, current may

ﬂow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-

tery cases in handbags, etc.

If your Ni-Cd batteries seem to have no capacity even after

being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the

power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the Ni-Cd batteries

again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little),

new batteries must be purchased.
