Battery Information
Initial Use
New batteries are shipped uncharged from the factory. Charge a new battery for 5 hours before initial use, and this is true to
Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries charged with slow or rapid rate charger. The maximum battery capacity and performance
is achieved after two or three full charge/discharge cycles. If you notice the battery power runs low, please recharge the
battery. New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.
Applicable Battery Packs
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the battery specified by the manufacturer. Other batteries may burst, causing bodily
injury and damage.
Caution:
1. To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
2. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.
3. Never attempt to disassemble the battery.
Battery Tips
1. When charging your battery, keep it at a temperature among 5℃ ~ 40℃ to ensure a full charge. Temperature out of the
limit will significantly reduce battery life.
2. When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
3. Do not cut off the power supply or remove the battery when charging a battery.
4. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with soft cloth prior to charge.
5. The battery will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
To Prolong Battery Life
1. Battery performance will be greatly decreased at a temperature below 0℃. A spare battery is necessary in cold weather.
The cold battery unable to work in this situation may work under room temperature, so keep it for later use.
2. The dust on the battery contact may cause the battery cannot work or charge. Please use clean dry cloth to wipe it
before attaching the battery to the radio.
Battery Storage
1. Fully charge a battery before you store it for a long time, to avoid battery damage due to over-discharge.
2. Recharge a battery after 3 months’ storage, to avoid reducing battery capacity due to over-discharge.
3. When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place under room temperature.
