• 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 in order 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 over night.
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.
