Charging Operation The battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time after purchase or extended storage ( more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal operating capacity. After fully charging/discharging cycle for two or three times, the operating capacity will reach its best performance. The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged.
5. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery pack. 6. Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid danger. WARNING: When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may cause damage or hurt bodies. If the battery terminal short circuit it will generate a lot of heat. Take care when carrying and using the battery.
NOTE: when charging a power-on radio equipped with battery, the indicating lamp will not turn into green to show the fully charged status. Only when the transceiver is switched off, the lamp can indicate normally. The radio consumers energy when it is power-on, and the charger can not detect the voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge battery in constant voltage and fail to indicate correctly whether the battery has been fully charged. 5.
Normal Charging Tips 1. Self- Examination: When charging, orange light twinkles for 1 second and goes out, which means the charger has passed it self-examination and it can charge the battery normally.
