CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK FOR MORE
THAN 5 DAYS MAY REDUCE THE BATTERY
PACK LIFE.
Note: The ambient temperature should be
between 41 and 104°F (5 and 40°) 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 trans-
ceiver while charging its battery pack will in-
terfere 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.
PREPARATION
Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack is not charged at the factory;
charge it before use. Initially charging the
battery pack after purchase or extended
storage (greater than 2 months) will not
bring the battery pack to its normaloperating
capacity. After repeating the charge/discharge
cycle two or three times, the operating capacity
will increase to normal.
CAUTION: 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.
