Caution
• The battery pack is not charged when shipped. It must be charged before using.
• It takes a maximum of 10 hours to charge the battery pack with the EDC-93
(120V) / EDC-94 (230V)(EBP-52N / EBP-53N) and about 30 hours with the
EBP-54.
• Charging should be conducted within a temperature range of 0 to 40˚C.
(32-104˚F)
• Do not convert or dismantle the battery pack and do not place it in fire or water.
Such practices are dangerous. Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals, as
this can cause damage to the equipment or lead to overheating the battery, which
could cause burns. Unnecessary prolonged charging (overcharging) can
deteriorate battery performance.
• The battery pack should be stored in a dry place where the temperature range is
-20˚C to -45˚C (-4˚F to +113˚F).
Temperatures outside this range can cause battery liquid leakage. Exposure
to prolonged high humidity can cause corrosion of metal components.
• Normally, the battery pack can be charged up to 500 times. However, the battery
pack can be considered dead if usable time drops off markedly in spite of charging
the pack for the recommended time. When this happens, a new pack should be
used.
• To protect the environment, do not dispose of the used battery pack improperly.
Check with your local solid waste officials for details on recycling the battery
pack for proper disposal in your area.
• To charge the battery pack, mount it on the transceiver, connect 13.8VDC to the
DC power supply jack and set the unit's battery charging function ON in the
Setting mode.
