Battery Information
Initial Use
New batteries are not charged fully in the factory. Please charge the battery for 4
hours at least before first use. This initial charge pre-conditions the battery for full
capacity. Failure to charge fully
may shorten the life span of the battery. Recharge the
battery immediately once it goes flat as it could get damaged if left very flat for long
periods. The maximum battery capacity and performance is achieved after three full
charge-discharge cycles.
Battery Pack
Please only use a battery which is approved by the manufacturer. Unauthorized
batteries may cause failure of protection circuitry and result in bodily injury and
property damage.
Safety Information
1) Do not throw the battery into fire!
2) The battery should be recycled and disposed of correctly.
3) Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
4) Only charge the battery, when the ambient temperature is between 5
℃
- 40
℃
.
5) Please turn off the radio when the battery is charging. Using the radio during
charging will affect normal charging of battery pack and will lengthen charge time.
6) During charging, do not plug in/pull out the power supply or the battery frequently,
it would affect battery charging.
7) Do not charge when the battery or radio is wet. Please dry it with a soft cloth
before charging.
8) Do not use the charger, cable or battery if damaged, cracked or frayed in any way.
9) The battery life is over when the operating time is obviously shorter than normal
even if it’s fully and correctly charged. Please then replace with a new battery.
To Prolong Battery Life
1) Battery performance will degrade when the current temperature is below
0
℃
. A
spare battery may be necessary in cold weather. Please keep the cold batteries,
as these batteries will work under room temperature.
2) If the battery contact is dusty, it may influence its normal use or normal charge.
Battery Storage
1) Fully charge a battery before storing for a long time, to avoid battery damage
caused by over-discharge.
2) Recharge the Li-Ion battery after 6 months as the battery will lose small amounts
of charge even when not in use. This regular maintenance will avoid the battery
capacity reducing which is caused by over-discharging.
3) When storing your battery, keep it in a cool and dry place under room
temperature.
