Professional Digital Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual
Maximum battery capacity is normally achieved
after two or three full charge / discharge cycles.
Caution:
To reduce the risk of injury, use only batteries
specified by RCA Communications Systems.
- To avoid risk of personal injury, do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
- Dispose of batteries according to local
recycling regulations. Do not dispose as
household waste.
- Never attempt to disassemble the battery.
- When charging a battery, keep it at a
temperature between 41°F ~ 104°F (5°C ~
40°C) to ensure a full charge. Temperatures
outside this range significantly reduce
battery life. The operating time (talk-time
and standby time) is noticeably shorter than
normal, replace the battery.
- Before charging a battery attached to a radio,
turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
Never leave a radio on while in the charger,
as it can damage both the battery and the
radio; the charger is not a radio stand.
- Do not cut off the power supply or remove
battery while charging.
- Never charge a battery that is wet. Dry it with
soft cloth prior charging.
- The battery will eventually weaken. When the
operating time (talk-time and standby time)
becomes noticeably shorter than normal,
replace the battery.
- Battery performance greatly decreases at
temperatures below -4°F (-20°C). Having a
spare battery is always necessary in extremely
cold environments. A cold battery may work
again when it returns to room temperature,
so keep it for later use.
- Dust on the battery contact may cause the
battery not to work or charge properly. Use
a clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching
the battery to the radio.
