Battery Life: Do NOT recharge battery until you see the half empty battery iconon your display. Failure to do so will create a short memory and cause severalunnecessary charging until battery is useless. (page 10)2. Quick Charge: Be aware that the desktop 1 hour quick charge will also shortenthe FT-60’s battery life as a quick jolt of power is good for emergency use but NOTfor daily use.3. Frequency Labeling: This is a personal choice. I can not remember frequenciesby name so I have chosen to label each frequency so the name of the repeater isdisplayed and NOT the frequency. (page 30)a. make a list beforehand of the frequencies you have and the name ofthat repeater. This will make your work in labeling frequencies mucheasier.b. choose the frequency in memory you want to labelc. press the F/W key then press the 0 Set key
