Battery Care / Information
Introduction
Your Entel radio is supplied with a high
performance battery. These batteries:
• Extend talk time
• Reduce the battery's size and weight
• Do not suffer from 'memory effect' that
reduces the life of Ni-Cad and NiMH
batteries
• Have a low toxicity, therefore reducing the
impact on the environment

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

batteries. The battery is supplied with a security

Replacement batteries are available from your
local authorised dealer. If you require assistance
where to purchase please contact Entel for
details.

be supplied with sub standard, potentially
dangerous battery packs from 3rd party
