Repeating improper recharge of the Ni-MH battery pack may cause so-called the

"memory effect" that the battery holds less charge. To avoid this, it is always

recommended to fully discharge the battery pack then full charge. This function helps

discharging the battery pack. Please remove the unit from a charger before this

operation.

1. Activate the Keylock (page 31).

2. Press the

key twice, the

key twice, the

"DISCHG" will be displayed on the LCD, and the

battery-refresh starts.

3. To cancel this operation, just turn off the unit, turn it on again, then unlock the

Keylock function.

1. In the VFO/Memory/Call channel mode, select the channel to which you wish to

Caution

• The time to refresh totally depends on the remaining charge of the battery

pack. To discharge the fully-charged EBP-72 may take up to approx. 7 hours.

• When this function is on, the backlight and the keys are illuminated, and

noise from the speaker can be heard.

• Before storing the rechargeable battery pack for an extended period of

time, please full-charge it after this operation. Also, refresh and fully charge

the battery once every 6 months to keep the pack in good condition.
