Battery & Charger

Before Using Battery or Charger

Charge battery before first use of 730SC or after
long periods of disuse.
Charging Battery
Long periods of disuse may affect battery's ability to
●
hold a full charge. Charge battery at least once every
six months while not in use. Otherwise, battery may
become unusable.
Depending on usage, bulges may appear near end of
●
battery life; this does not affect safety.
730SC uses a lithium-ion battery; charge battery in
●
anytime without damaging its ability to hold a
charge.
Do not charge battery under the following
●
conditions:
- In ambient temperatures beyond 5ºC - 40ºC
- In high levels of humidity, vibration or dust (May
cause malfunction)
- Near a radio receiver (May cause feedback)
730SC or Charger may warm while charging. This is
●
normal, however, should they become very hot to the
touch, stop charging and contact Customer Service
(fP.11-22).
