■
Caution
(for the BP-264 Ni-MH battery)
R
DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals)
of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal
objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
R
DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal
battery gas may cause an explosion.
R
DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If
the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry
BE-
FORE attaching it to the transceiver.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range, –5˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-
mance and battery life.
CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature envi-
ronment (above +55˚C) for an extended period of time. If the
battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be de-
tached from the radio after charging. Keep it safely in a cool
dry place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +45˚C (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (up to a year*)
* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.
Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.
Keep battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week.
If your Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity, even
after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again.
If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or only very lit-
tle charge), a new battery pack must be purchased. (p. 39)
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 (rapid charge: with BC-191) or
between 0°C and +45°C (regular charge: with BC-192)
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-191 for
rapid charging, BC-192 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 time period should be
less than 48 hours.
• Use the battery pack until it becomes almost completely ex-
hausted, under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging after transmitting becomes impossible.
