5Repeat this procedure several 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 thetransceiver power ON and then OFF again to initiate charging.◆ Exceeding the specifi ed charge period shortens the useful life of the PB-45L battery pack.◆ The provided charger is designed to charge only the PB-45L battery pack. Charging othermodels 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 battery pack, ensure that the safety catch is fi rmly closed.◆ Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.◆ It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the PB-45L with the optional KSC-32.Charger Error• While charging, if a problem is detected in the battery, the LED will light or a beep willsound, to indicate the problem.• If a charging error occurs when the power is turned on, charging is cancelled, a beepsounds, and “Charge Error” appears on the display.• If a charging error occurs when the power is turned off, charging is cancelled and theTX-RX LED flashes orange.• The following conditions create charging errors:• A short in the battery is detected.• Overvoltage in the battery is detected.• The charge timer is exceeded (the battery has deteriorated).• When a charge error occurs, no key other than [ ] will function.BATTERY LIFEBefore you operate the transceiver outside using a battery pack, it is important toknow how long the battery pack will last. The operating times listed in the tablebelow are measured under the following cyclic conditions:TX: 6 seconds, RX: 6 seconds, Stand-by: 48 secondsWe recommend you carry extra battery packs with you, in case the battery packbecomes depleted.Battery Type Output Power Operating Time/ Hours (Approx.)PB-45L(7.4 V)H 6L 12EL 15BT-15(9 V)H 1.5L 6EL 8Note: Internal resistance levels differ, depending on the battery, so when using Alkaline batteriesthere are times when the actual operating time may be shorter than normal.
