2.5 Battery Maintenance
The battery for your radio comes uncharged from the factory; please let it charge for at least four to five hours before you start using your radio.
• Use only batteries approved by the original manufacturer.
• Never attempt to disassemble your battery pack.
• Do not expose your batteries to fire or intense heat
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local recycling regulations. Batteries do not belong in your trashcan!
2.6 Prolonging the life of your 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's finished charging.
• Never charge a wet battery.
• Batteries wear out over time. If you notice a considerably shorter operating time with your radio, please consider purchasing a new battery.
• Battery performance will be reduced in temperatures below freezing. When working in cold environments, keep a spare battery on you. Preferably inside
your 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 con tact with radio and charger.
If your battery has become wet, remove it from the radio, wipe it dry with a towel and put it in a plastic bag with a handful of dry rice. Tie the bag up and let it sit
over night.
The rice will absorb any remaining moisture in the battery.
This method is only effective against minor splashes (light rain for instance). A soaked radio may very well be beyond repair.
2.7 How to Store the Battery
(1) If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
(2) It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
(3) Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.
(4) To avoid severe capacity degradation of your battery while in long-term storage, please cycle the battery at least every six (6) months.
