8.1.b Memory effect
The supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydrate) battery pack is made with a
more advanced technology than normal NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) battery.
For this reason it is virtually free of what is called “memory effect”, that is
a temporary capacity reduction which reduces the battery duty Memory
effect may occur just if you regularly charge the battery when you have-
n’t discharged it at least at 50-70%. Memory effect can be easily avoided
by following these simple rules:
• When possible charge battery packs only when they are completely
discharged.
• Don’t remove the battery from the charger before the necessary time
to provide a full charge.
• Provide at least two deep charge/discharge cycles per month.
• The best way to avoid memory effect is to use two battery packs and
alternate their use with the radio. This will allow you to keep on your
transceiver’s operation by replacing the battery pack just when it’s
fully discharged and use the spare (charged) one.
8.1.c Erasing memory effect
Memory effect can be easily erased just by applying 3-4 deeper char-
ge/discharge cycles.
1) Use the battery fitted in the radio and wait till the radio switches off for
a lack of energy, then switch the radio off by the PWR/VOL knob.
2) Wait at least one hour and then try to switch on the radio: you will note
that some energy has restored in the battery, because the radio can
be switched on.
3) Leave the radio in RX until the radio switches off again, then switch it
off by the PWR/VOL knob.
4) Repeat steps 2) and 3) three times.
5) Fully charge the battery and check the battery duty. If some memory
effect still exists, go back to step 1.
If the battery duty does not improve after three of the over stated
cycles, it means that your battery pack is faulty or has reached the end
of life (please refer to the paragraph 8.1). In this case please ask your
dealer to provide you with a new battery pack.
8.1.d Warnings for battery and chargers use
Please follow these cautions to avoid damaging battery packs or the
transceiver:
Before using the battery charger carefully read any related war-
ning or caution.

sions.
Never dispose batteries into fire and never expose them to high
temperature, they may explode causing fire or explosions.
Strictly follow any disposal regulation of your Country.
Use only genuine batteries and chargers. The use of non-genui-

serious damages to the radio/battery or serious injuries to peo-
ple.
Battery chargers are for indoor use only.
Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed for
the supplied battery charger (AC adapter). If you are not sure,
check with your dealer or with your local power company.
To avoid damaging the power cable of the battery charger, do
not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. Insert
the plug in socket provided with earth connection.
Avoid strong shocks. Don’t use the charger if it received a strong
