4 When charging is completed, the indicator lights green.
Remove the battery pack or the transceiver from the
charging slot of the charger.
• It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery pack.
• When the charger will not be used for a long time, unplug the
AC adapter from the AC outlet.
Note:
◆ When the indicator blinks red, the battery pack is either defective or
the battery pack contacts are not properly mated with those of the
charger.
◆ The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C while
charging is in progress. Charging outside this range may not fully
charge the battery.
◆ The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases even
though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery pack.
