Battery Pack

•
If a battery is not to be used for an extended
period of time (e.g. several months) remove the
battery pack from the equipment and store in a
cool and dry location (around 0°C) part charged.
Do not fully discharge the battery before
storage.
•
Each charge cycle reduces the battery's life.
Minimise the number of times you charge your
battery especially in hotter environments which
further shortens a battery's life

Battery Communications (exc CLB750
GMDSS battery)
Each battery used with your radio (excluding the
HT644) has a microprocessor fitted, which logs the
number of times your battery has been charged. On
a portable radio with an LCD display, the number of
times the battery has been charged, together with
the remaining charge cycles available, will be shown
during switch on (if not de-activated by your dealer).
The warranty on all batteries is 12 months from new,
or 450 charge cycles, whichever is the sooner. After
420 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a series
of short tones, and on LCD models a waste bin icon
will flash to alert you to the need to buy a new
battery.
After 450 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a
.
series of long beeps, and LCD models the message
will change to BATTERY COUNT EXCEEDED
REPLACE BATTERY. The radio will continue to
operate but its operational time may be reduced,
eventually failing all together.
Note: only genuine Entel batteries should be used.
Only genuine batteries offer the battery charge
count feature informing you when the battery is
reaching the end of its useful life. Customer
satisfaction is assured as you can not be supplied
with sub standard, potentially dangerous battery
packs from 3rd party manufacturers, ensuring it
delivers the expected capacity and endurance.
On HT series batteries a breathable membrane is
used.This is clearly marked on the battery label.
Piercing the membrane will allow water ingress to
the battery, and will invalidate the warranty.
