If the operating time of the battery pack still decreases, the battery pack life is over. Replace the battery pack.• The ambient temperature should be from 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) while charging is in progress.When the ambient temperature is in the upper limits (close to 40°C (104°F)), the charging time may become longer than normal.• The charging times provided are obtained when a battery pack discharged to 1 V/cell x 6 (Ni-MH) or 3 V/cell x 2 (Li-ion) is charged at normal temperatures. This charging time varies depending on the degree of discharge and the ambient charging temperature.• Repeatedly recharging a fully charged battery pack, or almost fully charged pack, shortens its operating time. To resolve this problem, use the pack until it is completely discharged, 1 V/cell x 6 then recharge the pack to full capacity (Ni-MH).• The battery life in charge/discharge cycles is approximately 300-500. However, overcharging and excessive discharging shortens the battery pack life.• When using this equipment near a radio, transceiver or television, you may experience interference with reception.AC adapter jackPlug in the supplied AC adapter here.PC (Micro USB) port *The USB connector allows you to directly connect to a computer by using a commercially available USB cable.Charging slotSlide a battery pack or a transceiver equipped with a battery pack into this slot.LED indicatorInforms you of the current charger status.

5RECONDITIONING (For Ni-MH battery equipped with data terminal only)■ Automated Battery ReconditioningWhen a Ni-MH battery pack equipped with a data terminal is used with this charger, the charger will read the number of discharging and charging cycle of the battery pack. When the preset number is reached, reconditioning (full discharging and charging) is performed. This allows you to restore the charging capacity of the battery pack.If reconditioning is deemed necessary, reconditioning starts automatically. The LED indicator of the charger lights up in yellow and discharging starts.Once the discharging is completed, charging starts automatically and the LED indicator lights up in red.ATTENTION: ◆Depending on the usage condition of the battery pack, reconditioning may not be performed even if the preset number of cycle is reached. ◆If the preset number of cycle is reached and charging is done on a charger other than KSC-Y32, reconditioning will be skipped. Reconditioning will not start until the next preset number is reached. ◆If the effect of the reconditioning is insuffi cient, reconditioning may start again.■ Manual Battery ReconditioningAfter normal charging starts (indicator lights up in red), the record of the battery pack is read (indicator blinks 3 times in purple). Within the three blinks in purple, repeating the actions of removing the battery pack from the charger and placing it back to the charger twice within 5 seconds will force reconditioning to start.■ Stopping Reconditioning ManuallyAfter reconditioning is initiated and when discharging is performed (indicator lights up in yellow), repeating the actions of removing the battery pack from the charger and placing it back to the charger twice within 5 seconds will force reconditioning to stop. Normal charging will begin when reconditioning stopsATTENTION: ◆Performing reconditioning frequently may shorten the life-span of the battery. ◆If reconditioning is initiated manually, remove the battery pack from the charger and place it back to the charger to resume normal charging operationLONG LIFE CHARGING MODE (For Li-ion battery equipped with data terminal only)LONG LIFE CHARGING MODE is a charging mode whereby the battery is charged to approximately 80% instead of fully charged to 100%. By connecting to a PC using a commercially available USB cable (USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B) and through installing an optional "KAS-12 BATTERY READER", you can charge the battery pack in this mode.Charging the battery pack in this mode repeatedly can extend the life-span of the battery pack.The LED indicator lights up in blue when charging the battery pack in this mode.ATTENTION: ◆The battery pack is not fully charged in this mode so the battery duration from each charging becomes shorter.To start and stop manual battery reconditioning
