If Using The Optional NiCad* Battery Pack:

Fully charge the battery pack before its first use. The battery pack

requires 12 hours for a full charge and should not be charged in excess

of this time period.. Charge only with the VHF 725e Charging Unit

provided with the NiCad Battery Pack. Partially discharging a nickel-

cadmium battery and then recharging it causes a phenomenon referred

to as "memory reset". When a battery that is not fully discharged is

then recharged, it resets the memory in proportion to the amount of

previous discharge, resulting in a gradually decreasing recharge

capacity. To ensure that this type of battery pack retains its full

capacity, it should be almost fully discharged** (when the battery

symbol blinks) and then recharged completely after every few cycles of use.
