CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack can be charged after it has been installed onto the transceiver.
(The battery pack is provided uncharged for safety purposes.)
1 Confirm that the transceiver power is OFF.
• While charging the transceiver with a battery pack
installed, be sure to turn the transceiver power
OFF.
2 Plug the AC adapter cable into the jack located
on the rear of the charger.
3 Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
4 Slide a battery pack or a transceiver equipped
with a battery pack into the charging slot.
• Make sure the metal contacts of the battery pack
mate securely with the charger terminals.
• The indicator lights red and charging starts.
5 When charging is completed, the indicator
lights green. Remove the battery pack or the
transceiver from the charging slot.
• When the charger will not be used for a long time,
unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet.
Note:
◆ Using the transceiver while charging its battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
◆ If the operating time of a battery pack decreases although the battery pack is fully and
correctly charged, the battery pack life is over. Replace the battery pack.
◆ The ambient temperature should be from 41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40°C) while charging is in
progress.
◆ The charging times provided are obtained when a battery pack discharged to 3 V/cell x 2
is charged at normal temperatures. This charging time varies depending on the degree of
discharge and the ambient charging temperature.
◆ This charger may be suitable to charge battery packs not listed herein, due to further
technology development.
◆ If the battery pack contacts are not properly mated with the charger terminals, the
indicator may blink red or may remain unlit. To resolve this problem, reinsert the battery
pack after cleaning the battery pack contacts and the charger terminals.
◆ When using this equipment near a radio or television, you may experience interference
with reception.
◆ While charging, do not connect the PC Interface cable to the transceiver.
