2. BATTERY PACK
2-1 NiCd BATTERY PACK (PB-6)
This battery pack has not been charged at the factory in
order to provide you with the greatest number of
charge/discharge cycles. You must charge the battery
before
use. The battery pack will require several
charge/discharge cycles before you can expect to see the
maximum operating period between charges. If the battery
will be stored for greater than 2 months it should be
recharged before use.
2-2 RECHARGING
1. Slide the adapter onto the
NiCd battery pack.
2. Plug the supplied charger
into an AC outlet.
3. Do not allow the battery
to charge for greater than
15 hours.
The useful life and battery
performance will be reduc­
ed if you exceed the recom­
mended charge period.
Note:----------------------------------------
Recharging should be performed
within an ambient temperature
range
of between 5°C~40°C
(41°F~104°F).
Recharging the battery outside
of this range may not allow the
battery to reach full charge.
Press down on the hook in the
middle of the battery case top
to open.

ing time.
