Disposing of Batteries
Making Sure Batteries
are Ready for Use
16
To condition a battery:
1. Insert the battery in the charging/conditioning slot as shown in Figure
2. Press the conditioning button within 2 seconds after inserting the
battery. The indicator lights YELLOW to indicate the battery is being
conditioned.
3. When the conditioning cycle ends, the Conditioning Status Indicator
will glow green.
Conditioning leaves the battery in a charged state.
To help protect the environment, C1025 rechargeable batteries which
have reached the end of their useful life should be disposed of in
accordance with local requirements.
Follow these tips to make sure batteries are always ready for use:
•
Have at least one extra battery for each belt pack. This helps ensure
that a fully charged battery is always available.
•
Recharge a low battery as soon as it is removed from the transceiver
pack.
•
Keep the battery contacts clean: both those on the battery and those in
the belt pack. To clean the contacts, use an alcohol-moistened cotton
swab.
•
Remember that a battery recharge takes approximately 1-1/2 to 2
hours.
•
Avoid removing and reinserting batteries while they are charging
(charging status indicator is RED).
•
Remember that batteries discharge fastest during Talk and Page
operation. Avoid unnecessary communications.
