BATTERY CHARGING
■ Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery
pack in areas with extremely high
temperatures, such as near res or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct
sunlight. In such environments, the safety/
protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the
transceiver during a lightning storm. It may
result in an electric shock, cause a re or
damage the transceiver. Always disconnect
the power adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the
battery in the battery charger beyond the
specied time for charging. If the battery
is not completely charged by the specied
time, stop charging and remove the battery
from the battery charger. Continuing to
charge the battery beyond the specied
time limit may cause a re, overheating, or
the battery may rupture.
R WARNING! Occasionally observe the
battery pack condition while charging. If
any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue
using the battery pack.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert the transceiver
(battery attached to the transceiver) into
the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could
corrode the battery charger terminals or
damage the charger. The charger is not
waterproof.
NOTE: DO NOT charge the battery pack
outside of the specied temperature range:
15˚C ~ 40˚C (59˚F ~ 104˚F).
Otherwise, the charging time will be
longer, but the battery will not reach a full
charge. While charging, at a point after
the temperature goes out of the specied
range, the charging will automatically stop.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the power
adapter unless the power outlet is easily
accessible and near the unit. Remove it
from the power outlet when not in use.
BE SURE to replace the battery pack
with a new one approximately ve years
after manufacturing, even if it still holds
a charge. The material inside the battery
cells will become weak after a period of
time, even with little use. The estimated
number of times you can charge the pack
is between 300 and 500. Even when the
pack appears to be fully charged, the
operating time of the transceiver may
become short when:
• Approximately 5 years have passed since
the pack was manufactured.
• The pack has been repeatedly charged.
