is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to
be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may
• Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was
•The pack has been repeatedly charged.
The battery cells may deteriorate and swell due to their
characteristics if used in an environment and conditions
such as: frequently charged, recharged immediately after
full charge, used or saved in a hot place, or charged
by methods other than the instructions. If the battery
pack swells, it has reached the end of its life due to
deterioration. Replace it with a brand new one.

RWARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack
condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs,
discontinue using the battery pack.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near res or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such
environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery
will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert the transceiver (battery
attached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or
soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or
damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.
