Care and Maintenance
I
Use only genuine batteries and chargers. The use of non
genuine accessories may cause burns, fire or explosions;
making serious damages to the radio/battery or serious injuries
to people.
I
Battery chargers are for indoor use only.
I
Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
for the supplied battery charger (AC Adaptor). If you are not
sure, check with your dealer or with your local power company.
I
To avoid damaging the power cable of the battery charger,
do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked
on.
Insert the plug in socket provided with earth connection.
I
Avoid strong shocks. Don’t use the charger if it received a
strong shock, has fallen down or it appears damaged;
immediately contact an authorized service station.
I
Never try to disassemble or service the charger by yourself.
Always contact your local dealer for assistance.
I
To reduce the risk of electric shocks disconnect the plug
before providing any cleaning or maintenance. Grasp the plug
(not the cable) to remove the plug from the socket. The use
of non suitable extension can cause fire or electric shocks.
I
Don’t expose batteries directly to temperatures below -20
°
C
or greater than 35
°
C during their use and don’t charge them
outside the range of +5 to +55
°
C.
Radio maintenance
Cleaning battery packs
Wipe the battery contacts with a clean and lint free cloth to remove
dirt, grease or any other material which may prevent a good electrical
contact. If contacts are very dirty you can also wipe them using a
soft pencil rubber (not hard erasers for ink!). If you feel that battery
contacts aren’t still working properly, please contact your authorized
dealer.
