CHARGING THE Ni-MH BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is not charged at the factory; charge it
before use.
The initial charging of 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 2 or 3 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 32°F and 104°F
(0°C 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 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.
