■Charging the NiCd 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

increase 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

(5 and 40

C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside

this range may not fully charge the battery.

◆

Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a NiCd 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.

PREPARATION

Note: It takes approximately 6 hours to fully charge the optional

KNB-14 battery pack.

Plug the AC adaptor cable into

the adaptor jack located on the

rear of the charger.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Slide the NiCd battery pack or

transceiver with a NiCd battery

pack into the charger.

• Make sure the battery pack

contacts are in contact with the

charging terminals.

• The charger LED lights and

charging begins.

After charging the supplied KNB-15A battery pack

for 8 hours, remove it or the transceiver equipped

with it from the charger.

• The charger does not turn OFF automatically after

charging is completed.

Unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet.

■Installing/ Removing the Battery Pack

The average life of the supplied KNB-15A NiCd

battery pack is 8 hours. Average times are

calculated using 5% transmit time, 5% receive time,

and 90% standby time.

◆

DO NOT SHORT THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR

DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY BY FIRE.

◆

NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CASING FROM THE

BATTERY PACK.

Match the four grooves of

the battery pack with the

corresponding guides on

the back of the transceiver.

Slide the battery pack

along the back of the

transceiver until the

release latch on the base

of the transceiver locks.

To remove the battery

pack, pull back on the

release latch and slide

the pack away from the

transceiver.

■Installing the Antenna

Screw the antenna into the

connector on the top of the

transceiver by holding the

antenna at its base and turning

it clockwise until secure.

Note: The antenna is neither a handle,

a key ring retainer, nor a speaker/

microphone attachment point. Using

the antenna in these ways may damage

the antenna and degrade your

transceiver’s performance.

Antenna

■Installing the Belt Clip

If necessary, attach the belt

clip using the two supplied

3 x 8 mm screws.

Note:

◆

If the belt clip is not installed, its

mounting location may get hot

during continuous transmission or

when left sitting in a hot

environment.

◆

You must remove the belt clip

before removing the battery pack.

DO NOT USE GLUE WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT

SCREW LOOSENING WHEN INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP, AS

IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSCEIVER. ACRYLIC

ESTER, WHICH IS CONTAINED IN THESE GLUES, MAY

CRACK THE TRANSCEIVER’S BACK PANEL.
