Kenwood TK-3230 User Manual

Initial charging of the battery pack after purchase or extended 

storage (greater than 2 months) will not bring the battery pack 

to its normal operating capacity.  After repeating the charge/

discharge cycle two or three times, the operating capacity will 

increase to normal.

◆

  Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged.  

Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the 

battery pack may be damaged.

◆

  After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the 

charger.  Charging the battery pack for more than 5 days may 

reduce the battery pack life due to overcharging.

Note:
◆

  The ambient temperature should be between 41°F and 104°F 

(5°C and 40°C) while charging is in progress.  Charging outside 

this range may not fully charge the battery.

◆

  Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a battery 

pack before charging.  Using the transceiver while charging its 

battery pack will interfere with correct charging.

◆

  The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases 

even though it is fully and correctly charged.  Replace the 

battery pack.

  Plug the AC adapter cable into 

the adapter jack located on the 

rear of the charger.

  Plug the AC adapter into an AC 

outlet.
