Section 2 Charging and Battery Test
2.1 Battery Information
The snap-on type battery pack of the radio FSG 7016 contains ten top quality
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries with a capacity of 1,500 mAh. They provide sufficient
electrical DC power to supply the radio and other connected special accessory.
To maintain the battery performance and its cycle service life, the following should
be noticed:
• Self-discharge of batteries when not in use (battery pack separated from radio)
is usual and permitted (maximum storage time one year at room temperature).
• When storing the radio without recharging for a period longer than 3 to 4 month,
detach/separate the Ni-MH battery pack from FSG 7016 radio.
• To prevent Ni-MH batteries from losing capacity, they should be fully discharged
and charged cyclically, at least once a month (avoids memory effect).
• Use only DITTEL Ni-MH battery chargers, otherwise you risk to lose the 24
month warranty as well as battery performance/reliability.
2.2 Battery Replacement
CAUTION!
• When removing or replacing the battery pack, the radio must be
turned OFF.
• Hold the radio with one hand and the battery pack with the other. Press the
locking tab

on the left side of the transceiver's case. The battery pack swings
open and can be removed.
• To reinstall the battery pack, hold it with the groove (type plate) on the left side.
Hinge battery nose into recess on the right side of radio and give a push until
locking tab will click, locking the battery pack in position. Check for proper seat.
• Rechargeable DITTEL battery packs can be charged separately or while
attached to the radio.
• Periodically check the contacts on the bottom of battery pack for dirt that may
prevent a good electrical contact with the charging base.
