XExceeding the specified charge period shortens the useful life of the PB-45L battery pack.

XThe provided charger is designed to charge only the PB-45L battery pack. Charging other models of battery packs may damage the charger and battery pack.

XDo not transmit while charging.

XWhen not in use, store the battery pack in a cool and dry place.

XBefore charging the battery pack, ensure that the safety catch is firmly closed.

XAttention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

XIt takes approximately 3 hours to charge the PB-45L with the optional KSC-32.

While charging, if a problem is detected in the battery, the LED will light or a beep will sound, to indicate the problem.

If a charging error occurs when the power is turned on, charging is cancelled, a beep sounds, and “Charge Error” appears on the display.

If a charging error occurs when the power is turned off, charging is cancelled and the TX-RX LED flashes orange.

The following conditions create charging errors:

A short in the battery is detected.

Overvoltage in the battery is detected.

The charge timer is exceeded (the battery has deteriorated).

When a charge error occurs, no key other than [] will function.

Before you operate the transceiver outside using a battery pack, it is important to know how long the battery pack will last. The operating times listed in the table below are measured under the following cyclic conditions:

TX: 6 seconds, RX: 6 seconds, Stand-by: 48 seconds

We recommend you carry extra battery packs with you, in case the battery pack becomes depleted.
