CHARGING THE NiCd BATTERY PACK
You must charge the battery pack before using it with the
transceiver, or after storing the pack removed from the
transceiver for more than 2 months. It takes several
charge/ discharge cycles before achieving the full battery
pack capacity.
CAUTION:
◆
EXCEEDING THE SPECIFIED CHARGE PERIOD SHORTENS THE
USEFUL LIFE OF THE NiCd BATTERY PACK.
◆
THE PROVIDED CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO CHARGE ONLY
THE PROVIDED PB-38 OR PB-39 NiCd BATTERY PACK.
CHARGING OTHER MODELS OF BATTERY PACKS WILL
DAMAGE THE CHARGER AND BATTERY PACKS.
Note:
◆
Charging should be done within an ambient temperature between
5
°
C and 40
°
C (41
°
F and 104
°
F). Charging outside this range may
not fully charge the battery.
◆
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with the NiCd battery
pack before charging the transceiver. Using the transceiver while
charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
◆
Repeatedly recharging a fully charged battery pack, or almost fully
charged pack, shortens its operating time. To resolve this problem,
use the pack until it is completely discharged. Then recharge the
pack to full capacity.
◆
If the operating time of a battery pack decreases although the battery
pack is fully and correctly charged, the battery pack life is over.
Replace the battery pack.
1Install the NiCd battery pack onto the transceiver
{page 2}.
•Confirm that the transceiver power is OFF.
2Insert the DC plug from the charger into the DC IN
jack on the transceiver.
3Insert the charger AC plug into an AC wall outlet.
•Charging starts and will take approximately 16 hours for
PB-38 or 15 hours for PB-39.
4After 16 hours (PB-38) or 15 hours (PB-39), remove
the charger DC plug from the transceiver DC IN jack.
5Remove the charger AC plug from the AC wall outlet.
