Battery Life; Battery Type; Output Power - Kenwood TH-D72A Manual De Instrucciones

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 specifi ed 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 fi rmly 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.

• 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

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.
