BATTERY INFORMATION
NiCd
BATIERY
PACK (PB-32/PB-34)
You must charge the battery pack before you can use
it.
The pack is delivered uncharged to provide
you
with the
greatest number of charge/discharge cycles.
It
takes
several charge/discharge cycles before achieving the full
battery pack capacity. After storing the pack for more
than 2 months, recharge it before use.
• Recharging
Insert the plug from the BC-17 charger into the DC
IN
jack on the right side
of
the transceiver. Then plug
the charger AC plug into an
AC
wall outlet. Do not
charge the battery for more than
15
hours. Exceeding
the recommended charge period shortens the useful
life of the pack and adversely affects battery
performance.
