BATTERY PACKS
■
Charging caution
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack
must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
B10°C and +40°C.
• Use the optional charger (BC-119N/BC-121N/BC-144N for rapid
charging, BC-137 #11/BC-146 for regular charging) only.
NEVER
use other manufacturers’ chargers.
The battery pack contains a rechargeable battery.
Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver, or
when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points should
be observed:
• Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less than
20 hours.
• Use the battery pack until it becomes almost completely ex-
hausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charg-
ing after transmitting becomes impossible.

Battery pack life
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.
