PREPARATION

■Charging the Optional NiCd Battery Pack

The optional battery pack is not charged at the

factory; charge it before use (refer to the battery

pack instruction manual).

◆

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. IF THE CHARGER POWER IS

RESET (TURNED ON AFTER BEING TURNED OFF),

RECHARGING WILL START AGAIN AND THE BATTERY

PACK WILL BECOME OVERCHARGED.

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.

with this transceiver.

BATTERY PACK.

of the battery pack with

the corresponding

guides on the back of

the transceiver.

along the back of the

transceiver until the

release latch on the

base of the transceiver

locks.

pack, pull back on the
