WARNING:
Battery Life
Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery.
Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):
• Li Ion – 12 Hours
Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of
batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge
and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.
For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer
cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further,
a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.
WARNING:
9980384R89
To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled
"hazardous atmosphere." DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.
Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A
sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally
across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the
battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.
