Battery

Funkwerk Security Communications GmbH will not assume any liability for damage
resulting from improper use of the battery.
Safety instructions for battery use:

Place the radio set in a system-compatible charger to charge the battery. Or,
where available, use the separate charging slot of the single unit chargers for
charging a single battery.

Do not throw the battery into the fire as it might explode.

Avoid all risks of short-circuiting between the contact faces of the battery. When
the contact faces are short-circuited, the battery is discharged. In very rare cases,
a short-circuited battery might explode or cause a fire.

Unusual or pungent smells as well as unusual deposits on the radio set or the
battery point to a leaky battery. Switch off the radio set and return it to the service
dept.

Liquids or gases may escape from leaky batteries. Avoid direct skin contact with
escaped liquids. Do not inhale any escaping gases. Health hazards such as skin
irritation, skin burns or poisoning would be the consequences. In case of doubt,
consult a doctor!
Instructions for storage and transport of the battery:

Store or transport the radio set and the battery in suitable, non-conductive
packaging. Use the original packaging if possible.

During extended storage periods, the battery should be recharged every 3 to 6
months. During long-time storage, the storage temperature of the battery should
be below the usual room temperature.
Batteries are wear parts. The battery of your radio set loses its initial capacity over
the course of time due to use, long storage periods, and ageing. Such capacity
losses are normal and will not give rise to a warranty claim.
