Short Circuit - Motorola GP300 Operating Instructions Manual

Battery Information
contain a temperature sensing circuit to ensure that the bat-
tery is charged within these temperature limits. If the
charger is not performing a rapid rate charge, the charger
light flashes red to indicate that the battery is being charged
at a slow trickle rate. For additional information on batteries
and battery charging, refer to the battery charger informa-
tion in the service manual.

Short Circuit

Care should be taken to avoid external short-circuiting of
the battery.
A sustained high rate discharge (e.g., a paper
clip placed accidentally across the battery con-
tacts) may permanently damage the battery,
void the battery warranty, and create a burn or
fire hazard.
Memory Effect (Reduced Charge Capacity)
The Memory Effect was a phenomenon which caused a
temporary loss in battery capacity or voltage due to repeti-
tive shallow discharging or low term overcharging. This
Memory Effect has been virtually eliminated in Motorola
batteries with the use of the latest in cell technology from
our selected cell suppliers.
Nickel-Cadmium Battery Disposal
For disposition, Nickel-Cadmium sealed rechargeable bat-
teries should be delivered to an authorized metals reclama-
tion dealer (refer to the inside front cover of this manual).
DO NOT DISPOSE OF ANY BATTERIES
IN A FIRE AS THEY MAY EXPLODE!
