■ Battery cautions
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to
the transceiver.
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may
flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs in handbags, etc.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a
new battery pack must be purchased.
D Recycling information
The product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
the end of its life, under various state and local
laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into
the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-8-BATTERY for bat-
tery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer.
■ Battery charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
•Recommended temperature range for charging:
+50°F to +104°F (+10°C to +40°C)
•Use the supplied charger (AD-58) or optional charger
(BC-119 for rapid charging) only. NEVER use other manu-
factures’ charger.
•An optional cable OPC-515L (for 13.8 V power source) or
CP-17L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used in-
stead of the AC adapters of above chargers.
When using AD-58: If the charge indicator lights red, the
vehicle battery voltage is low and charging may not be
performed. Check the vehicle battery voltage in this case.
When using BC-119: If the charge indicator flashes or-
ange, the vehicle battery voltage is low and charging may
not be performed. Check the vehicle battery voltage in this
case. If the charge indicator flashes red, there may be a
problem with the battery pack (or charger). Re-insert the
battery pack or contact your dealer.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it
OFF while charging.
