PREPARATION
BATTERY PACK PRECAUTIONS
Do not use battery packs or battery chargers not
recommended by KENWOOD.
◆ 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.
If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned OFF),
recharging will start again and the battery pack will become
overcharged.
◆ Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack. We
recommend you switch the transceiver power OFF while
charging is taking place.
◆ Do not charge the battery pack when the battery pack or
transceiver is wet, to avoid the risk of fire or damage. Wipe the
water from the battery pack or transceiver using a dry cloth
before charging.
◆ Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by
fire.
◆ Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
■ CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
For charging procedures, refer to the battery charger
Instruction Manual.
