Notice for Charging The Ni-MH 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 normal

operating capacity. After repeating the charge/discharge cycle two or three times, the operating

capacity will increases 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 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 Ni-MH 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.
