• Do not try to drill, disassemble or modify the battery pack. Do not hit or handle it with
sharpened objects.
• Charge the battery pack between 0ºC and +40ºC only.
• Do not expose battery packs to AC or DC voltages that could produce uncontrolled
charge or discharge currents.
• It is advisable to put the battery charger on a clear place, free of elements that could
prevent a proper ventilation during charging process.
• If a battery pack shows severe mechanical damage (greater than the scratches or
small hits produced during normal use), its internal structure could be affected. In this
case, do not use that battery pack any more.
• Charge a battery pack only when necessary. Do not recharge it if it's not completely
discharged. It is advisable to carry a spare to replace the battery in use when it is fully
discharged.
• Avoid leaving the TK-T300/G terminal connected to the charger once the battery pack
is fully charged, since continuous charging processes shorten battery life. Do not use
the battery charger as a radio stand.
• If a battery is very discharged, it can take up to half an hour to show the process of
loading.
• When it is planned to use the equipment at low temperatures, it is recommended that
the battery is fully charged.
• Do not return fully charged battery packs to the charger for an extra-recharge, since
this reduces significantly cycle life. Short cycle charging should be avoided.
• Battery packs should be properly recycled at their end-of-life, in compliance with local
regulations.
