Care and safety information
Storage of batteries
Codan recommends that batteries are fully charged prior to storage, and again prior to
use. The length of time that they can be stored before recharging is necessary depends on
the type of battery pack and the average storage temperature.
Disposal of batteries
Batteries should be recycled in accordance with local government regulations and
environmental acts.
Immersion of the transceiver in water
The transceiver unit and battery pack are designed to be waterproof to IP68. The units
can withstand immersion in 1 m (3 ft) of water for up to 1 hour. Prolonged immersion
may cause damage to the units.
If the units are immersed in water, drain any water from the front panel speaker and
keypad, then wipe and air dry the connectors on the units prior to use or charging the
battery pack.
If the units are exposed to salt water, they should be washed with fresh water as soon as
possible.
