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 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 contact 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 overnight.
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.
