Note:
Never leave the battery pack in direct sunlight.
The transceiver becomes warm while charging the battery pack.
While the battery pack is charged, the ambient temperature must
be within 0°C ~ 40°C (32°F ~ 104°F). Otherwise, charging does
not start. If the transceiver senses that the temperature is more
than 60°C (140° F) during charging, the transceiver stops
charging.
Before recharging the battery pack, use the battery pack until the
transceiver stops receiving.
Do not plug the charger into the DC IN jack for more than 24
hours.
Unplug the charger as soon as possible after the charging period
is over.
After the battery pack is charged, do not unplug and plug the
charger into the AC outlet again. Unpluging the charger will reset
the charging timer and the battery pack will be charged again.
This could result in over-charging.
If the battery pack is recharged repeatedly before the battery
pack is not fully used, the memory effect (the battery pack will not
allow the charger to recharge the battery to more than a certain
voltage level) may occur. In this case, turn the transceiver ON
until it stops receiving in order to discharge the battery pack, then
recharge the battery pack as normal.
If the battery pack is not used for a long time, the battery pack
capacity temporarily decreases. In this case, charge the battery
and use the battery pack until the transceiver stops receiving.
Repeat this procedure a few times. The battery pack should
recover its capacity.
If the charger is plugged into the DC IN jack before the battery
pack is attached, turn the transceiver power ON and then OFF
again to initiate charging.
Exceeding the specified charge period shortens the useful life of
the PB-43N Ni-MH battery pack.
The provided charger is designed to charge only the PB-43N
Ni-MH battery pack. Charging other models of battery packs
may damage the charger and battery pack.
Do not transmit while charging.
When not in use, store the battery pack in a cool and dry place.
Before charging the PB-43N Ni-MH battery pack, ensure that the
safety catch is firmly closed.
