BATTERY CHARGING
If the battery has never been used, or its charge
is depleted, it may be charged by connecting the
Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to
the EXT DC Jack. If only 12-16 Volt DC power
is available, the optional DC Adapter (with its
cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for
charging the battery.
While the battery is being charged, the display
will indicate (See PIC 5), this S-meter will deflect
according to the charging status, and the TX/BUSY
indicator will glow red.
When the charging is finished, the TX indicator
will glow green.
The charger is only designed for the charging of
our battery, and is not suitable for other purposes.
Please be advised that the charger may contribute
noise to TV and radio reception in the immediate
vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent
to such devices.

1) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range is
41°F~95°F (+5°C~+35C).Charge out of this range could cause damage
to the battery pack.
2) If the charge is not completed in several hours, the battery may be
deteriorated. Do not attempt to forcibly charge the battery, please
contact the dealer.
3) If you do not use the transceiver for a long time, remove the battery
pack from the transceiver, as battery leakage could cause damage to
the transceiver and the battery pack.
4) While in storage, the charge will drain slightly over time and the battery
should be recharged 50% each six months.
