Care and safety information
Storage of batteries
Codan recommends that batteries are fully charged prior to
storage. The length of time that they can be stored before
recharging is necessary is dependent on the type of battery and
the average storage temperature.
Disposal of batteries
Batteries must be recycled. They should not be burnt or
disposed of in landfill.
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 h. 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.
If the units are exposed to salt water, they should be washed
with fresh water as soon as possible.
