CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver (–25˚C to +55˚C) and the battery itself (–5˚C to +65˚C). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +55˚C) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after charging. Keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature range: –20˚C to +45˚C (up to a month) –20˚C to +35˚C (up to six months) –20˚C to +25˚C (up to a year*) * We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months. It’s a good idea to regularly clean them. 19 4 BATTERY CHARGING BATTERY CHARGING 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 If your Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity, even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased. [. . . ] After connection, the VOX function can be used. Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal performance when used with an Icom transceiver.
