Battery care
- The battery should be completely charged before use.
- Note that the maximum capacity of the battery is achieved only after about six charging
and discharging cycles.
- Since the performance of batteries declines over time, they should be completely
discharged occasionally to maintain their full capacity. When doing this, leave the unit
turned on until it turns itself off. Subsequently fully charge the battery pack
Ex-AM PMR 1000 outside of the Ex-area.
