7.2.-BATTERY TIPS:
1. When charging your ba ery, keep i a a empera ure among 5℃ - 40℃. Tempera ure ou of
he limi may cause ba ery leakage or damage.
2. When charging a ba ery a ached o a radio, urn he radio off o ensure a full charge.
3. Do no cu off he power supply or remove he ba ery when charging a ba ery.
4. Never charge a ba ery ha is we . Please dry i wi h a sof clo h prior o charge.
5. The ba ery will even ually wear ou . When he opera ing ime ( alk- ime and s andby ime) is
no iceably shor er han normal performance, i is ime o buy a new ba ery.
7.3.-PROLONG BATTERY LIFE:
1. Ba ery performance will be grea ly decreased a a empera ure below 0 . A spare ba ery is℃
necessary in cold wea her. The cold ba ery unable o work in his si ua ion may work under room
empera ure, so keep i for la er use.
2. The dus on he ba ery con ac may cause he ba ery canno work or charge. Please use a
clean dry clo h o wipe i before a aching he ba ery o he radio.

7.4.-BATTERY STORAGE:
1. Fully charge a ba ery before you s ore i for a long ime, o avoid ba ery damage due o over-
discharge.
2. Recharge a ba ery af er several mon hs’ s orage (Li-Ion ba eries: 6 mon hs), o avoid ba ery
capaci y reduc ion due o over-discharge.
3. S ore your ba ery in a cool and dry place under room empera ure, o reduce self-discharge.

12.15.- OFFSET(FREQUENCY SHIFT):
When communica ing via a repea er, he direc ion of displacemen of
frequency should be imed o he displacemen of he ransmission frequency is

If we wan o make a communica ion hrough ama eur radio repea er whose frequency
inpu is 145,000 MHz and 145,600 MHz is ou pu , we selec he
"OFFSET" of he previous sec ion in 0600 and he direc ion of ravel "SHIFT" programmed
