2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time after
purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating capacity. Best
operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity will reach its best
performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when
charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
2.2 Charger Supplied
Please use the specified charger provided by BAOFENG. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After installing the
battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.
2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack, as
BAOFENG cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b. The ambient temperature should be between 5℃-40℃ (40˚F - 105˚F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this range may
not fully charge the battery.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d. To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until the green
light is on.
e. Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the battery pack.
f. Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid damage.
WARNING!
When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may become damage or
injure a human. If the battery terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat. Take care when carrying and using
the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not put it into a metal container.
