Battery Care

Introduction

Your Entel radio is supplied with a high performance Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery.

These batteries:

•Extend talk time

•Reduce the batteries’ 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 Precautions

•Switch the transceiver OFF before charging

•Charge the battery pack before use

•Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged as this will use one its charge cycles and may shorten its life

•Charge the battery in accordance with the instructions enclosed with your charger

•Do not charge the transceiver and/or battery pack if they are wet

Battery Care / Information

The battery pack includes potentially hazardous components. Please:

•Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery

•Do not short-circuit the battery

•Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery

•Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means

•Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight

•Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements

•Do not pierce the battery with any object or strike it with an instrument

•Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way

•Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery

•Do not touch a ruptured or leaking battery

Battery Communications

Each battery used with your radio has a microprocessor fitted, which logs the number of times your battery has been charged. On the advanced 8-key and 20-key display models, the number of times the battery has been charged, together with the remaining charge cycles available, will be shown during switch on.This information may also be accessed and displayed via the menu. (If not de-activated by your dealer)

The warranty on all batteries is 12 months 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.

If liquids from the battery get on your skin or into your eyes, immediately:

•Wash your eyes out with fresh water avoiding rubbing them.

•Seek medical treatment.

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.

After 450 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a series of long beeps, and LCD models the message will change to CHARGE 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.

Genuine batteries ensure customer satisfaction delivering the expected capacity and endurance. This cannot be guaranteed with sub standard, potentially dangerous battery packs from 3rd party manufacturers.
