Initial Use
New batteries are shipped uncharged from the factory.
Charge a new battery for 5 hours before initial use. The
maximum battery capacity and performance is achieved
after three full charge/discharge cycles. If you notice the
battery power runs low, please recharge the battery.
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 property 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 5ºC-40ºC. Temperature out of the limit may
cause battery leakage or damage.
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 a
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 performance, it is time to buy a new battery.
To Prolong Battery Life
1. Battery performance will be greatly decreased at a
temperature below 0ºC. 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 a clean dry cloth
to wipe it before attaching the battery to the radio.
