Battery
For your safety, inspect the battery regularly for any signs of damage,
such as cracks or surface damage caused by an impact or the battery
being dropped. Fit a new battery if there are any signs of damage.
Warning: Risk to personal safety.
PowerTrunk TETRA radios have
been tested and certified using Sepura approved batteries. The use of
non-approved batteries may damage the product, will result in non-
compliance with regulatory requirements, compromise the product
safety ratings including SARS, reduce the length of operating time and
will invalidate the product warranty.
Checking the battery charge
Always check the amount of battery charge before lengthy periods of
operation. A fully charged battery should provide continuous operation for a
full shift, depending on a number of operational factors such as how the
radio is operated, the operating environment (temperature and network
signal strength) and the condition of the battery. When the radio is powered
on
, the amount of charge remaining may be displayed as a percentage (%) on
the screen.
Battery charge indicators
A
battery meter
appears on the status line at the top of the radio display. The
meter consists of 4 bars comprising 8 segments that fill and empty
corresponding to the estimated amount of charge remaining.
