Information concerning the battery pack:

The battery pack includes fl ammable objects such as organic solvent.

Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.

DANGER

- Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!

The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not short-circuit the battery!

Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.

- Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!

If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not leave the battery near fire, stoves, or other heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/176°F)!

If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Avoid immersing the battery in water or getting it wet by other means!

If the battery becomes wet, wipe it off with a dry towel before use. If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not charge the battery near fi re or under direct sunlight!

If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements!

If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

DANGER

- Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an instrument, or step on it!

This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not jar or throw the battery!

An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not solder directly onto the battery!

If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!

When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!

The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!

If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.

WARNING

- Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!

If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed, stop it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container!

The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

- Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!

If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it from fl ammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and may cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.

- Do not use an abnormal battery!

- Be sure to match the battery polarities with those marked in the bottom of the battery case.

3 Align the two tabs at the bottom of battery case, then close the cover until the locking tabs on top click.

4 To install the battery case onto (or remove it from) the transceiver, follow steps 1 to 3 of "INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK".

- When using the BT-15, set the "Battery Type" to "Alkaline", in Menu No. 112 (page 24). If it is set to "Lithium", the battery capacity indicator (page 22) will not show the correct initial value. When using the battery pack, return the setting to "Lithium".

Note:

When carrying the battery case while using a battery pack, place the battery case in the BT-15 carrying pouch.
◆ Do not use Manganese batteries or Rechargeable batteries in place of Alkaline batteries.
◆ Remove all batteries from the case when it is not expected to be in use for several months.
◆ To lift the battery pack safety catch, use a piece of hardened plastic or metal, such as a screwdriver, that is no more than 6 mm wide and 1 mm thick. It is imperative that you place the implement under only the lip of the safety catch so that you do not damage the release latch.

INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP

If desired, you can install the supplied belt clip to the transceiver.

1 Loosely insert the two supplied screws into the holes on the back panel of the transceiver.

2 Slide the belt hook into position, under the screws.
3 Tighten the screws until secure.

Note: When the belt hook is not attached to the transceiver, remove the screws from the transceiver to avoid scratching other materials.

The battery pack can be charged after it has been installed onto the transceiver. (The battery pack is provided uncharged for safety purposes.)

1 Confir rm that the transceiver power is OFF.

- While charging the battery pack, leave the transceiver power OFF.

2 Insert the charger plug into the DC IN jack of the transceiver.

DC-IN jack Charger TH-D72A To AC outlet TH-D72E

3 Plug the charger into an AC wall outlet.

• Charging starts and the two TX-RX LEDs on the top panel light orange. < Until Firmware version 1.06 >
• Charging starts and "Charging" appears on the display. < From Firmware version 1.07 >

4 It takes approximately 8 hours to charge an empty PB-45L Li-ion battery pack. After 8 hours, remove the charger plug from the transceiver DC-IN jack.

• When charging completes, the LEDs turn off. < Until Firmware version 1.06 >
• When charging completes, "Charging" disappears. < From Firmware version 1.07 >

5 Unplug the charger from the AC wall outlet.

Note:

◆ Never leave the battery pack in direct sunlight.
◆ The transceiver becomes warm while charging the battery pack.
◆ While the battery pack is charged, the ambient temperature must be within 0^ C \~ 40^ C ( 32^ F \~ 104^ F). Otherwise, charging does not start. If the transceiver senses that the temperature is more than 60^ C ( 140^ F) during charging, the transceiver stops charging.

◆ Before recharging the battery pack, use the battery pack until the transceiver stops receiving.

◆ Do not plug the charger into the DC IN jack for more than 24 hours.

◆ Unplug the charger as soon as possible after the charging period is over.

◆ After the battery pack is charged, do not unplug and plug the charger into the AC outlet again. Unplugging the charger will reset the charging timer and the battery pack will be charged again. This could result in over-charging.

If the battery pack is recharged repeatedly before the battery pack is not fully used, the memory effect (the battery pack will not allow the charger to recharge the battery to more than a certain voltage level) may occur. In this case, turn the transceiver ON until it stops receiving in order to discharge the battery pack, then recharge the battery pack as normal.

When the battery is installed on the transceiver and you are using an optional rapid battery charger, do not charge the battery from the DC-IN Jack. Charging the battery from the DC-IN Jack may result in overcharging the battery which can result in the shortening of the battery life cycle.

If the battery pack is not used for a long time, the battery pack capacity temporarily decreases. In this case, charge the battery and use the battery pack until the transceiver stops receiving.

Repeat 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 the transceiver power ON and then OFF again to initiate charging.
Exceeding the specified 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 other models 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 firmly 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 will sound, to indicate the problem.
• If a charging error occurs when the power is turned on, charging is cancelled, a beep sounds, and "Charge Error" appears on the display.
• If a charging error occurs when the power is turned off, charging is cancelled and the TX-RX LED fl ashes 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 LIFE

Before you operate the transceiver outside using a battery pack, it is important to know how long the battery pack will last. The operating times listed in the table below are measured under the following cyclic conditions:

TX: 6 seconds, RX: 6 seconds, Stand-by: 48 seconds

We recommend you carry extra battery packs with you, in case the battery pack becomes depleted.

Battery Type Output Power Operating Time/ Hours (Approx.)
PB-45L(7.4 V)	H	6
	L	12
	EL 15
BT-15(9 V)	H 1.5
	L	6
	EL	8

Note: Internal resistance levels differ, depending on the battery, so when using Alkaline batteries there are times when the actual operating time may be shorter than normal.

CONNECTING TO A CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET

To connect the transceiver to the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle, use an optional PG-3J Cigarette Lighter cable.

When the PG-3J is connected to the cigarette lighter plug, the transceiver automatically starts charging the PB-45L battery pack. While you operate the transceiver, it charges the PB-45L battery pack in the background.

To connect with an external 24 V power source via a DC-DC converter, only use the optional PG-3J Cigarette Lighter cable.

Using the PG-2W DC cable in this situation may cause a fire.
