Battery Maintenance
The battery for the radio comes uncharged from the factory. Please charge it for at least four to five hours before starting to use
the radio.
•
Use only batteries that are approved by the original manufacturer.
•
Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
•
Do not expose the battery to fire or intense heat.
•
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local recycling regulations.
Prolonging the Life of the Battery
•
Only charge batteries in normal room temperatures.
•
When charging a battery attached to the radio, turn the radio off for a faster charge.
•
Do not unplug the power to the charger or remove the battery and/or radio before it has finished charging.
•
Never charge a wet battery.
•
Batteries wear out over time. If there is a considerably shorter operating time with the radio, please consider
purchasing a new battery.
•
Battery performance is reduced when temperatures are below freezing. When working in cold environments, it is
recommended to keep a spare battery at hand, preferably inside a jacket or in a similar location in order to keep the
battery warm.
•
Dust can interfere with the contacts on the battery. If necessary wipe the contacts with a clean cloth to ensure proper
contact with radio and charger.
Storage
Fully charge the battery before storing the device for a prolonged period of time in order to prevent damage from over-
discharge.
To avoid severe capacity degradation of the battery while in long time storage, please cycle the battery at least every six (6)
months.
Store the batteries in a cool and dry place, never above normal room temperatures.
In Case of Exposure to Water
If the battery has become wet, remove it from the radio, dry with a towel, and put it in a plastic bag that contains a handful of
dry rice. Tie the bag up and let it sit overnight. The rice should absorb any remaining moisture in the battery.
