CHARGING TIPS
• 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 1 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.
