BATTERY PACKS
■ Battery charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the
power OFF while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C
- The Li-Ion battery (optional) is functioning within –20°C to
+60°C.
• Use the supplied AC adapter on regular charging. NEVER
use another manufacture’s adapters.
• Use the specified chargers (BC-119N, BC-121N and
BC-144N). NEVER use another manufacture’s charger.
NEVER connect DC power to the transceiver when in-
stalling Alkaline batteries. Such a connection will damage
the transceiver.
■ Battery cautions
CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver
(with the battery pack attached) with wet or soiled into the
charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals
or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and
water can easily get into it.
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately (particularly
the battery terminals BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,
etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
If your battery pack seem to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack
again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little),
the new battery pack must be purchased.
Turn the transceiver power OFF when charging the bat-
tery pack. Otherwise, the battery pack may not fully
charge or charge properly.

Recommendation:
The BP-211N Li-Ion battery pack (optional) is different from
Ni-Cd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely
charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life. There-
fore, charging the battery in intervals, and not for extended
periods is recommended.
