An NOAA broadcast station transmits
an weather alert tone before an important weather information. When the
weather alert function is turned ON, the
transceiver detects the alert, then
flashes the “ALT” indicator until the
transceiver is operated. The previously
selected (used) weather channel is
checked in any time during standby or
while scanning.
The transceiver has 2 scan types: normal scan and priority scan. Normal
scan searches all tag channels in the
selected channel group. Priority scan
searches all tag channels in sequence
while monitoring channel 16.
The scan resume timer can be selected
as a pause (OFF) or timer scan (ON).

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Battery cautions
■ Battery charging
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to
the transceiver.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF
while charging.
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may
flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing battery packs in handbags, etc.
AVOID leave the battery pack with fully charged or completely
discharged condition for long time. It makes shorter battery
life. In case of leaving the battery pack for long time, must be
in safekeeping after discharge or use the battery until the battery indicator shows middle level, then release from the transceiver.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a
new battery pack must be purchased.
20
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
• Use the supplied charger (AD-95) only. NEVER use other
manufactures’ charger.
• An optional cable OPC-515L (for 13.8 V power source) or
CP-17L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used instead of the AC adapters of above chargers.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the battery pack in the charger
more than 1 hour after the charging indicator lights OFF. It
will make shorter battery life, due to over charging.
BATTERY CHARGER
× Attaching the AD-95 to a desktop
Eyelet:
USE a rubber
band to secure
the transceiver,
if desired.
× Attaching the AD-95 to a wall
× Charging
q Connect the AC adapter (BC-122) or optional cable (CP17L or OPC-515L) as shown below.
w Insert the battery pack only or with the transceiver into the
charger.
• The charge indicator lights green.
e Charge the battery pack for approx. 8 hours.
AVOID overcharging!
The AD-95 is NOT a
transceiver hanger. Take
out the battery within
1 hour after charged.

SPEAKER-MICROPHONE
■ Speaker-microphone
descriptions
IMPORTANT: KEEP the [SP MIC] jack cover attached
(transceiver) when speaker-microphone is not in use.
Water will not coming into the transceiver even the cover is
not attached, however, the terminals (pins) become rusty
when the connector has wet.
■ Attachment
Insert the connector of the speaker-microphone into the
[SP MIC] connector on the transceiver and rotates (screws)
the connector cover as shown in the diagram below.
NEVER immerse the connector in water. If the connector becomes wet, be sure to dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
NOTE: The microphone element is located at the top of
the speaker-microphone. To maximize the readability of
your transmitted signal (voice), hold the microphone approx. 2.5 cm (1 inch) from your mouth, and speak at a normal voice level.
